47%
A couple of recent surveys of food intake among 10,000 US adults take in 47% of their calories form junk food. This is pretty typical for the average American diet. 75% of total sugar, 46% of sodium and 48% of saturated fat comes form junk food such as soda, chips and pastries. I know a lot of us fall into this category so the solution is to limit or eliminate these in our diets so we can be healthier. The unfortunate aspect of these food is while they taste great they contribute to our expanding waistlines. Make better food choices and exercise 3-4 days a week and you'll be on your way to losing weight and feeling better.
