How Different Meals Contribute to Fruit, Vegetable, Fish, and Whole Grain Intake in Norwegian Adults

Dinner was identified as the main contributing meal for fish and vegetables, while snacks were crucial for fruit intake.

• Breakfast was the primary meal for whole grain consumption.
• Skipping the main contributing meal led to a significantly lower intake of fruits, vegetables, fish, and whole grains.
• The main contributing meal remained consistent across different participant subgroups based on food intake, educational level, or age.
• Promoting the inclusion of these food groups in other meals may enhance overall dietary intake.
