List of countries by food energy intake - wikipedia List of countries by food energy intake Map of average daily dietary energy availability per capita in 2006 -- 2008. no data < 1,600 kcal ( 6,700 kJ ) 1,600 -- 1,800 kcal ( 6,700 -- 7,500 kJ ) 1,800 -- 2,000 kcal ( 7,500 -- 8,400 kJ ) 2,000 -- 2,200 kcal ( 8,400 -- 9,200 kJ ) 2,200 -- 2,400 kcal ( 9,200 -- 10,000 kJ ) 2,400 -- 2,600 kcal ( 10,000 -- 11,000 kJ ) 2,600 -- 2,800 kcal ( 11,000 -- 12,000 kJ ) 2,800 -- 3,000 kcal ( 12,000 -- 13,000 kJ ) 3,000 -- 3,200 kcal ( 13,000 -- 13,000 kJ ) 3,200 -- 3,400 kcal ( 13,000 -- 14,000 kJ ) 3,400 -- 3,600 kcal ( 14,000 -- 15,000 kJ ) > 3,600 kcal ( 15,000 kJ ) Food consumption refers to the amount of food available for human consumption as estimated by the FAO Food Balance Sheets. However the actual food consumption may be lower than the quantity shown as food availability depending on the magnitude of wastage and losses of food in the household, e.g. during storage, in preparation and cooking, as plate - waste or quantities fed to domestic animals and pets, thrown or given away. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the average minimum daily energy requirement is about 1,800 kilocalories ( 7,500 kJ ) per person.
