Abstract

In 1956 a nutritional survey of the urban population in Zagreb was carried out in 227 households with 828 family members. On the basis of food consumption the nutrition costs of these families were calculated, as well as the structure of the costs in relation to the foodstuffs of energetic and protective character. Further, the price of one calory is shown in relation to the number of family members and the kind of consumed' food. The disproportion between income and expenditure on nutrition is shown, the difference being probably covered by an extra income deriving from extra work.
