Patterns of food and nutrient intake in a sample of 97 adults in a region of Dublin with chronically high unemployment were examined. Food intake (g/10 MJ/day) of the upper and lower quartiles of intakes of selected nutrients were compared. Quartiles of fat intake were expressed as percentage energy from fat or as g/day. In both cases, but most notably in the former, the intake of table sugar was inversely related to the intake of fat. Again irrespective of the mode of expression, the high‐fat diets were characterised by high intakes of spreadable fats. The high intakes of sugar seen with low intake of fat (g/day or percentage energy) were not associated with an absolute diminution of macronutrient (excluding sugar or energy) intake or of micronutrient intake.
