We assessed the association between distribution of energy intake and total daily energy intake among individuals with type 2 diabetes, using data from 1219 men and women who completed the 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). History of diabetes was self‐reported. Daily energy intake, overall and by meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and snack, was estimated from a 24‐h food frequency questionnaire. Multiple regression models were used to estimate the association between percent of daily energy intake at each meal and snack with daily energy intake. Models were controlled for sex, age, race/ethnicity, body mass index and physical activity. Intake of energy (mean ± standard deviation), as percent of total daily intake, at breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack was 22.9% ± 15.7%, 23.2% ± 20.0%, 35.2% ± 21.3%, and 12.4% ± 16.3%, respectively. A larger breakfast (≥ 20% vs. <10% of total daily calories) was associated with 293 ± 104 (mean ± standard error) kilocalories lower total daily energy intake. No association was found between meal size at lunch, dinner or snack and total energy intake. The results suggest a possible role of food pattern in daily intake of energy. Consuming a higher energy breakfast may help decrease the overall daily intake of energy, which is critical for management of type 2 diabetes.
