National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (2001–2008) were used to assess the differences between weekend and weekday intake by adults (19y+; N=18,988). Intake was determined using a single 24 hour recall. Diet quality was determined using the Healthy Eating Index‐2005 (HEI). Covariate (DRI age group, gender, ethnicity, poverty index ratio level, physical activity level, and weight status) adjusted regression analyses were conducted to generate beta coefficients. Weekend intake was associated with a lower (p<0.001) HEI score (‐2.2±0.3 [SE]), and lower (p<0.001) intakes total fruit (‐0.1±0.02 cup eq) and milk (‐0.1±0.02 cup eq). Weekends were also associated with higher (p<0.001) intakes of energy (103±20 kcal), total fat (4.7±1.0 g), SFA (1.5±0.4 g), MUFA (2.0±0.4 g), PUFA (0.8±0.2), solid fat (4.3±0.7 g), cholesterol (30.2±4.3 mg), SoFAAS (95.8±11.4 kcals; 2.1±0.3% total energy), alcohol (4.2±0.6 g), and total egg (0.1±0.02). Since data suggest that weekend eating was associated with poorer diet quality and increased consumption of some nutrients to limit, it is important to determine weekend and weekday intake when characterizing the intake of a population.
