Book excerpt: Abstract: More than 12,000 low-income individuals participating in the Food Stamp Program (FSP) from the 48 conterminous states (between Nov 77-Mar 78) participated in a 1 day food and nutrient intake survey. The survey was a supplement to the Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (Apr '77-Mar '78). Included are: the percentage of individuals eating from each food group; average food energy intakes; and 14 nutrients, nutrient densities, and nutritive contributions of foods eaten away from home as compared to the 1980 Recommended Dietary Allowances. Results are summarized based on data presented in 118 tables which profile FSP participants and the differences between program participants and non-participants regarding their general consumption patterns.
