Food intake and self-reported lifestyle patterns of food stamp and non-food stamp recipients were compared. When 24-hour diet recall data were compared to the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) and the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI), mean intakes for energy were below 100% of the RDA for all participants. Food stamp recipients reported higher energy intake from fat and protein and lower intake from carbohydrate than nonrecipients. Reported intakes of vitamins A, D, E, and B6 and iron, and zinc were below 100% of the RDA for both groups. Intakes of folate and calcium were below two-thirds of the DRI for both groups. Mean number of fruits and vegetables consumed per day by both groups (2.2 vs 2.9) was below 5.
