R Scripts for Analysis of food-group level household and individual dietary data

This R script provides a harmonized workflow to calculate and visualize individual- and household-level food group consumption from dietary datasets. It includes tools for: (1) Calculating consumption of specific food groups (e.g., cereals, vegetables, milk, meat, fruit) from both individual-level 24-hour recalls and household survey data; (2) Estimating consumption in adult female equivalents (AFE); and (3) Summarizing median intake and interquartile ranges by education level and wealth quintile across multiple datasets. It is tailored for dietary analysis in low- and middle-income country settings and supports comparisons across survey sources (e.g., 24hR, household surveys, and national-level data).
