Book Description
Food away from home (FAFH) has been associated with poor diet quality in many studies. For the average adult, FAFH increases daily caloric intake and reduces diet quality. On average, breakfast away from home decreases the number of servings of whole grains and dairy consumed per 1,000 calories and increases the percent of calories from saturated and solid fat, alcohol, and added sugar in a day. Dinner away from home reduces the number of servings of vegetables consumed per 1,000 calories for the average adult. Some of the overall negative dietary effects decreased between 1994-96 and 2003-04, including those on whole grain, sodium, and vegetable consumption. Charts and tables.
