Changes in lifestyle patterns of adults in the U.S. have made consumption of restaurant foods commonplace. Different types of restaurants (definitions, p.6) have evolved to respond to consumer needs for dining out. Quick service restaurants such as fast-food establishments provide food on the go. Full service restaurantsoffer table service and a more relaxed dining experience, though take-out food is also an option. This data brief describes consumption of foods and beverages obtained from restaurants by U.S. adults 20 years and older using one day of dietary intake data from What We Eat in America, NHANES 2017-2018.
