Using unique nationally representative household level data for each month over one calendar year, we documentseasonal fluctuations in household diets in terms of both the quantity of calories and the number of different food groupsconsumed. Households in both rural and urban areas consume less calories in the lean season, but interestingly, due tochanges in the composition of diets, the diet diversity score increases towards the end of the lean season.
