• Source: List of countries by food energy intake

Food consumption is the amount of food available for human consumption as estimated by Our World in Data. However, the actual food consumption may be lower than the quantity shown as food availability depends on the magnitude of wastage and losses of food in the household, for example during storage, in preparation and cooking, as plate-waste or quantities fed to domestic animals and pets, thrown or given away.
According to the FAO, the average minimum daily energy requirement is approximately 8,400 kilojoules (2,000 kcal) per adult and 4,200 kilojoules (1,000 kcal) a child. This data is presented in kilojoules, as most countries today use the SI unit kilojoules as their primary measurement for food energy intake, with the exception of the USA, Canada, and the UK, which use kilocalories or both.
