Discretionary foods and drinks in Norwegian children and adolescents' diet: Data from the national dietary survey Ungkost 3

CONCLUSIONS: Almost all 4th and 8th graders in Norway consumed discretionary foods and drinks and these products contributed to a substantial proportion of the total energy intake and limited amounts of nutrients. Those children and adolescents consuming the least discretionary foods and drinks had a higher intake of whole grains, fish and seafood, indicating healthier and more sustainable food habits.PMID:37721223 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023001982
