Description

Definition

MEALSPERDAY reports the number of meals per day the members of the household have, either "usually" or during a recent reference period.

The information in MEALSPERDAY is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
