This statistic depicts the results of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which is conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The statistic shows the daily food energy intake from food and beverages of male children and adolescents in the United States in 2017/18, broken down by age group. In that year, 6 to 11 year old U.S. children had a daily mean energy intake from foods and drinks amounting to 2,006 kcal per person.
Daily food energy intake from food and beverages of male children and adolescents in the United States in 2017/18, by age group
(mean amount in kcal per individual)
Sample weights designed for dietary analysis were used to allow estimates representative of the U. S. population for the years of collection.
The statistics in this table are estimated from Day 1 dietary recall interviews conducted in the What We Eat in America, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2016.
The 24-hour dietary recalls were conducted in-person, by trained interviewers, using the USDA 5-step Automated Multiple-Pass Method. Food intakes were coded and nutrient values were determined using the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies 2017-2018 www.ars.usda.gov/nea/bhnrc/fsrg.
Intakes of nutrients and other dietary components are based on the consumption of food and beverages, including water, and do not include intake from supplements or medications.
The table includes data from individuals 2 years and over. Breast-fed children were excluded because breast milk was not quantified in dietary recall interviews.
