Finally mean rate of daily recommended nutrients was measured and was compared with national rates.Results: Results of this study show that carbohydrate, protein and lipid contributed to 78, 11 and 11 percent of energy for each individual respectively. Our finding also indicates that intake of lysine and methionin amino acid multichain saturated amino acids have been in unsecured threshold which means that the intake of these materials have been less than 80% of daily needs in studied families.
