Sausage is a staple breakfast item in many American households, but how much sausage do we actually eat? This sounds like something that could be measured easily enough, but it turns out that this question has a few complications.
First, what constitutes “a sausage”? Is it one link or two? What about when you’re talking about breakfast for an entire household or just yourself? And does it matter whether you make your own sausage or buy pre-packaged ones from the supermarket?
We’ll address these questions as we explore how much meat people consume per day—and why they eat so much sausage in the first place!

Some American households are known for their sausage-eating.
American households that are known for their love of sausage include the Duggans, who eat eight sausages at breakfast and just two during other meals. The average American eats one and a half sausages per breakfast, but only one at other meals.
The Duggans are an extreme example, but there are many households in which the amount of sausage consumed per meal is higher than what you might expect from the average person. For example, the Dunlaps tend to eat about 1-2 pounds of sausage per day (including both breakfast and dinner). They represent another group whose sausage consumption exceeds that of most Americans: those who eat more than one pound per day (a little more than just over a half-pound)
Any way you slice it, it’s a lot.
How much sausage does each person eat per breakfast? As it turns out, a lot.
In fact, if you asked five people who eat breakfast how much sausage they ate during their first meal of the day, they would probably say “a whole lot.” And that’s an understatement. According to the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), which publishes the National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, there are 16 ounces of meat in a pound of ground beef. So if you’re eating two pounds of ground beef each morning—and many Americans do—then you’ve just eaten 32 ounces of meat in one sitting! That’s more than half a pound!
It may seem hard to believe that anyone could eat all this food in one sitting but trust us when we say it’s happened before (and will happen again). The average American eats 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms) of red meat every year according to FNS data from 2014; this number includes all kinds including pork chops and bacon pieces as well as hamburgers made from ground chuck so even though some people might not eat an entire pound at once…they could definitely still consume enough quantities over time
The average person eats about one and a half sausages for breakfast every day.
You eat about a pound of sausage every year. That’s enough to fill up your entire stomach in one day!
But how many times do you eat sausage at breakfast? Well, if you take the average person and multiply it by the amount of people who eat sausage for breakfast (which is over 1 billion), then you get an answer that is a lot bigger than one pound per person per year.
So now we know how much sausage each person eats on average at breakfast—but how much do they actually eat? Well, let’s say there are 100 people eating sausages for breakfast this morning and that each person eats about six sausages (which isn’t too far off from reality). Then you’d have 600 sausages being eaten in total… with some leftover!
But not everybody does.
But not everybody does. Some people don’t like sausage, and that’s okay. This is the first of many times we will remind you of this fact: It’s okay if you don’t like something! There are plenty of other breakfast options out there, and they’re all delicious. You could try eggs instead or maybe a slice or two of bacon or an avocado on toast (which is one of our personal favorites). Or maybe you’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free—or even allergic to pork? Not a problem—there are plenty of alternatives for those preferences too!
Sausage can be made from meat substitutes like tofu or tempeh (a fermented soybean product) as well as other ingredients such as lentils, beans and mushrooms. Try some new ones at the store today! You might find one that works better for your palate than traditional sausage will do in future breakfasts;
otherwise just make sure whoever makes up your breakfast plate knows what kind(s) work best with their cooking style so they can accommodate accordingly when it comes time every morning around 7 AM sharp when everyone needs food before heading out into their daily lives again so we can go back home after work where nothing really happens except spending time together as family because our kids have school tomorrow afternoon but we won’t do anything else besides hang out until then so we might watch TV tonight which means I’m going upstairs now so I’ll see everyone later tonight (unless someone dies beforehand).
The average sausage-eater eats a little more than the average person.
The average person eats 1.5 sausages per day. So does the average sausage-eater! But since the average household has 4 people in it, that means each member of a normal household would have to eat 3 sausages per day to have the same amount as an individual.
That’s more than half a pig in one sitting! If you’ve ever wondered if it’s possible to make your own breakfast sausage at home, now you know: yes, absolutely—you just need to make enough for every single mealtime at once (and also save some for later). If there are four people in your family, that means they’re going through 9 pounds of ground pork per week—more than twice as much as before!
Everybody is different when it comes to breakfast foods.
Everybody is different when it comes to breakfast foods. Some people like eggs, some people like pancakes, and some people like waffles. Some people like bacon, some people like sausage, and some people like ham. Some people eat breakfast sandwiches for breakfast—some eat them for lunch too! And there’s no wrong way to enjoy your food: whether you’re eating eggs with bacon and sausage or eggs with waffles and pancakes or eggs with ham and hash browns—you’re still getting the same amount of energy from the protein that makes up these delicious meals.
We all know that breakfast is an important meal of the day; it gives us energy so we can get through our day without collapsing in mid-conversation.* If we don’t have enough energy at this time of day (like if we didn’t get enough sleep), then there’s no telling what kind of trouble could happen!
For example: imagine if someone doesn’t eat anything before going into work one morning? They might fall asleep while they’re driving their car on the way there (which could lead up to other problems). Or maybe they’ll just end up getting sick because their body wasn’t able to fight off any viruses present inside their system due lack access nutrients it normally gets during regular meals throughout day time hours.*
Conclusion
We can all agree that sausage is delicious, but how much of it do we actually eat for breakfast? The answer depends on who you ask. Some people eat a lot of sausage and other people don’t even like it. It just goes to show that there’s no one size fits all when it comes to our eating habits!
