The objectives of the present study were to analyze nutrient consumption in the village set up of Odisha and to investigate the determinants of consumption of various nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, calcium and iron. To substantiate the objectives descriptive statistics and multiple regression were used. The consumption of cereals and vegetables was more preferred in the study area, whereas the consumption of pulses was not so popular. Per capita income has a greater influence on nutrient consumption than the other determinants. The income elasticity of calorie intake was small but statistically significant for most income levels.
