There are many contributors to obesity, including excess consumption of “discretionary calories,” (foods high in sugar and fat and low in essential nutrients), lack of fruit/vegetable consumption, and insufficient physical activity. This study contrasts physical activity, fruit/vegetable, and discretionary calorie consumption from selected foods relative to the 2005 dietary guidelines. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in 228 urban census tracts in Los Angeles County and Southern Louisiana and estimated calories in the past 24 hours from fruits, vegetables, cookies, candy, salty snacks, sweetened soda, and alcohol among 2,767 participants. The population-weighted average daily intake of calories from candy, cookies, salty snacks, soda, and alcohol was 438 in Los Angeles County and 617 in Louisiana. Alcohol comprised a small portion of the calories consumed. Reported discretionary calorie consumption from a small set of items exceeded guidelines by over 60% in Los Angeles and by 120% in Louisiana. In contrast, the average consumption of fruit and vegetables falls 10% short in Los Angeles and 20% in Louisiana. There is significant heterogeneity in cookies, candy, salty snacks and soda consumption across income, gender, and race. The overconsumption of discretionary calories is much larger than the under-consumption of fruits and vegetables, suggesting that unless the excessive consumption of salty snacks, cookies, candy and sugar-sweetened beverages is curtailed, other interventions focusing on increasing physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption will have a limited impact on obesity control. It may be politically more expedient to promote an increase than a decrease, but it may be far less effective.
