Book excerpt: Abstract: USDA's Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (1977-78 NFCS)) reports on a 1 day's food and nutrient intake of approximately 7,800 individuals in Puerto Rico. Individuals were classified by 22 sex-age groups. Findings included: 92% repoted eating meat, poultry or fish the day surveyed; 94% consumed dairy products; 44% eggs, 60% legumes, nuts or seeds; 98% whole grain products; 73% vegetables; 47% fruits; and 63% sugar or sweets. Energy intakes averaged 96% of the midpoint range for the 1980 RDA with 15.8% from protein; 37.7% from fat, and 46.9% from carbohydrate. Average nutrient intakes based on the RDA are provided; the intakes for protein, thiamin, vitamin B12 and vitamin C met the RDAs. Three meals a day was a frequent pattern. (kbc).
