Abstract
Nutrients intake of Saudi infants and preschool children (0–6 years old) was investigated by 24‐hour dietary recall method. Results showed more than adequate intake of protein and vitamin C when compared to the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB/NAS, 1980) standards, while iron was the nutrient in least plentiful supply. For infants, calcium and phosphorus intakes were adequate because of the prolonged breast feeding, but that of niacin was relatively low. For all ages, the estimates of the intake of energy, vitamin A and thiamin were below the standard.Keywords
