Excerpt

Sandwiches are a mainstay of the American diet, yet few reports providing details about sandwich intakes in the U.S. had been published until recently. Food and nutrient intake data from What We Eat in America (WWEIA), the dietary intake interview component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), make it possible to describe fully the consumption of sandwiches and their contributions to energy and nutrient intakes in the U.S. For this report, the definition of sandwiches includes not only items that were specifically called “sandwiches” but also items like cheeseburgers, hotdogs, and breakfast biscuits (see definition of “sandwich” on page 8). Answers to the questions in this report are based on data from WWEIA, NHANES 2009-2012 (see “Data source” on page 8).
