Food Consumption and Nutrient Intakes
ERS provides data on food consumption and nutrient intake by food source and demographic characteristics:
- Three tables provide estimates of food consumption in 2015–18.
- Two tables provide estimates of nutrient intake in 2015–18.
Note that the documentation for the 2015–18 data has been updated and differs from the methodology of the archived data for 2007–10. The 2015–18 data and 2007–10 data should not be used together. An expanded data file allowing users to view the data over time is forthcoming.
