The Snacking Epidemic: Americans Consuming an Extra Meal's Worth of Calories

A study published in PLOS Global Public Health reveals that nearly a quarter of the calories consumed by U.S. adults come from snacks, which average 400 to 500 calories per day. These snacks are often lacking in protein, vitamins, and minerals, and contribute to one-third of daily added sugar intake. The most common snacks are convenience foods high in fats and carbohydrates, followed by sweets, alcoholic or sugary beverages, protein, milk and dairy, and fruits and grains. Fruits and vegetables make up only about 5% of total snacking calories. The study emphasizes the importance of making mindful and well-balanced snack choices, including a combination of healthy fats, carbohydrates, and protein, and opting for unprocessed foods.
