Fast food is getting the boot in many people's diets, according to government statistics out today. Adults consumed about 11% of their daily calories from fast food in 2010 down from almost 13% in 2006, the data reveal. These included foods such as hamburgers, pizza, sandwiches, fries and other items sold at places that offer quick service and takeout. Overall caloric intake among adults remained stable during these years. "The percent of calories from fast food has gone down a significant amount," says the study's lead author, Cheryl Fryar, a health statistician with the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
