TI  - Daily Energy Intake from Meals and Afternoon Snacks: Findings from the Malaysian 
      Adults Nutrition Survey (MANS).
PG  - 41-55
AB  - Meal and snack patterns are associated with energy and nutrient intakes and 
      consequently health and nutritional status. The aim of this paper is to describe 
      the percentage of daily energy intake from meals and afternoon snack among 
      Malaysian adults. The study included a representative sample of adults aged 18-59 
      years (n=7349) from a nationwide Food Consumption Survey conducted by the 
      Ministry of Health. Information on dietary intake was obtained using a one day 
      24-hour diet recall (24-HDR). Dietary data on 6886 adults were analysed using 
      Nutritionist ProTM and statistical analysis was carried out using the SPSS 13.0. 
      The median percentage of daily energy intake is reported only for adults 
      consuming meals and afternoon tea and by socio-demographic characteristics as 
      well as body mass index (BMI) status. More than 80% of Malaysian adults consumed 
      morning meals, lunch and dinner and 54% reported having afternoon tea. The median 
      percentage of energy intake from morning meals, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea 
      was 29.9%, 30.5%, 32.4% and 17%, respectively. There were variations in the 
      median percentage of energy from meals and snacks according to the 
      socio-demographic variables and BMI status. It is important to understand the 
      eating patterns of Malaysians as the information can assist in efforts to address 
      obesity and diet-related chronic diseases among adults.
