This first <em>NutriQu\u00e9bec 2026 Report<\/em>, released today, goes further by identifying the main food sources of these nutrients, the most commonly consumed fruits and vegetables, as well as meal habits among Qu\u00e9becers. The data are based on information provided by nearly 7,000 participants who reported more than 26,000 meals over the past several years. These data provide unprecedented insight into eating habits in Qu\u00e9bec and help guide reflections on public health actions better adapted to the Qu\u00e9bec context.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"c-theme\"><a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.60918\/24146\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View the NutriQu\u00e9bec 2026 report (In french only)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>In the plates of Quebec adults, from morning to night<\/h3>\n<p>The foods most frequently consumed vary depending on the meals of the day and snacks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Breakfast for many Quebecers consists of toast, peanut butter, eggs, and bananas.<\/li>\n<li>The four most commonly consumed snacks are, in order: apples, chips, cheese, and bananas.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cConvenience\u201d foods appear at dinner, such as pizza, which is frequently reported.<\/li>\n<li>Cheese stands out for its recurring presence at nearly every meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThese novel data on what is found in Qu\u00e9becers\u2019 plates are not surprising. The prominent role of cheese and the typical breakfast including toast, peanut butter, and banana are essentially cultural signatures of the Qu\u00e9bec diet,\u201d explains Beno\u00eet Lamarche, lead researcher for NutriQu\u00e9bec and Director of the NUTRISS Centre at INAF, Universit\u00e9 Laval.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis report also helps better understand eating contexts in order to design actions that are adapted to everyday realities. For example, fruits are mainly consumed at breakfast and as snacks, while vegetables are more often incorporated into composite dishes at lunch and dinner,\u201d adds Beno\u00eet Lamarche.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Most frequently consumed fruits and vegetables<\/h3>\n<p>The NutriQu\u00e9bec report identifies the fruits and vegetables most frequently consumed by adults in Qu\u00e9bec. Among them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Berries rank first among the most consumed fruits, followed by bananas and then apples.<\/li>\n<li>For vegetables, onions rank first, followed by tomatoes and then carrots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<em>It is interesting to note that, with the exception of bananas, the most frequently consumed fruits and vegetables can all be produced locally<\/em>,\u201d notes Beno\u00eet Lamarche.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Where are sodium, saturated fat, and free sugars hiding?<\/h3>\n<p>The data show that total intake of sodium, saturated fat, and free sugars among Quebec adults comes from foods that are frequently consumed on a daily basis:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Seasonings, condiments and sauces, breads, and cheeses account for nearly 50% of sodium intake.<\/li>\n<li>Cheeses stand out as the main source of saturated fat (25%).<\/li>\n<li>Sweet products (sugar, jam, candy, chocolate, muffins, cookies, and other pastries), as well as sugary beverages\u2014including fruit juices\u2014account for more than 60% of free sugar intake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\"<em>These results indicate that acting on a limited number of food categories\u2014particularly by reducing their sodium, saturated fat, and free sugar content, when possible\u2014could have a significant impact at the population level,<\/em>\u201d explains Beno\u00eet Lamarche, lead researcher for NutriQu\u00e9bec and director of the NUTRISS Centre at Universit\u00e9 Laval.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>NutriQu\u00e9bec invites Quebecers to participate in the study<\/h3>\n<p>NutriQu\u00e9bec is recruiting new participants in order to better represent the entire Quebec population, particularly across different regions.
