Abstract
A descriptive cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of Belizeans was conducted in 3 cities of Belize. Thirty-one interviews were analyzed. The mean age was 25 years, including 15 men (48.4%) and 16 women (51.6%) ranging from 19 to 50 years. Rice and beans were the most popular foods (n = 21). The tortilla was the most commonly consumed breakfast grain item. Men and women had inadequate intakes of vitamin A, calcium, and potassium. In women, iron and folate intake were also found to be low, and sodium intake was high among men. Health implications are discussed.
