North America & Europe

In these regions, three structured meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—are the norm, with a trend toward larger dinners, especially in North America. Breakfast can be substantial or light, often including cereals, bread, and eggs. Lunch varies from light to hearty, depending on the country and workday schedule. Dinner, often seen as a family meal, includes a mix of proteins, vegetables, and grains. Snacks are common throughout the day, with a growing emphasis on healthy, on-the-go options.
