This report is an overview of what Canadians are eating: how many calories they consume; whether they eat the daily minimum recommended number of servings (Health Canada 1997) of vegetables and fruit, milk products, meat and alternatives and grain products; and what percentage of their total calories come from fat, protein and carbohydrates.
