In the last three to four years, 89.1% of Bulgarians have started to be aware of the importance to healthy eating, and 60.6% have changed their diet. However, only 10.4% eat breakfast regularly, and for 45.4% dinner is the main meal. 

This is shown by a survey of the eating habits of Bulgarians, commissioned by a large retail chain, in partnership with the Medical University in Varna and the Parents Association, conducted in January, among 800 people. 

The men and women questioned are aged between 16 and 70 years old. Nearly 40 percent of those questioned believe that nutrition directly affects health, but for 20%, healthy nutrition is expensive. According to 55.6% of Bulgarians, healthy eating means eating a varied diet, and for 27.4% - eating more fruits and vegetables. 

At the same time, the Parents Association reports that 68.4% of parents allow their children to choose what to eat. Only 31.6% monitor what exactly they eat and limit the consumption of sweets, chips, pasta snacks and carbonated drinks.
