The term snack often means a food which is eaten between meals. Snacking can mean different things to different people, from a piece of fruit to a cereal bar to a sandwich. Nutrition survey results reveal 36% - 55% of adults eat food on five or more occasions throughout the day, suggesting snacking is common amongst many adults. This figure is higher for children and teenagers with 60-90% eating five or more times per day.
