Summary
Meeting nutrient requirements is a prerequisite for optimal health and nutritional status and requires a diverse diet. In resource-poor settings, households rely to a large extent on starchy staple food to meet their energy needs. High consumption of these food leaves limited room in the diet for inclusion of nutrient-dense foods to meet remaining essential nutrient needs without exceeding energy requirements. Maintaining high staple food consumption when households could afford a more diverse diet may contribute to the double burden of malnutrition.
