Most Likely to Dine Out
Teenage males are most likely to eat away from home, while individuals over age 60 are the least likely.
On a typical day, more than 70 percent of teenage males eat away from home, compared with fewer than 40 percent of men and women over 60. But males and females from age six to over sixty were surprisingly similar in the proportion of fat and calories they get from these foods an any given day.
Fast food establishments captured the business of nearly one-third (32 percent) of those who bought and ate out, followed by sit-down restaurants (27 percent) and grocery and convenience stores (24 percent). Americans most often ate lunch out, followed by snack or beverage breaks.
About 40 percent of males between age 12 and 59 ate food or beverages purchased from fast-food establishments, compared with one-third of their female counterparts and 25 percent of preschool children.
