The analysis of Bangladeshi food consumption patterns offers significant information on nutrition and public health. Notably, 63% of respondents were not familiar with the WHO dietary standards, indicating a significant lack of nutritional knowledge. Financial circumstances have a major role in eating habits; choices about food are influenced by factors including geography, employment status, and education. Diverse eating habits across age groups highlight the need for focused nutritional education, especially for the younger population. The research findings indicate an apparent excessive consumption of carbs, frequently exceeding suggested intake limits, when combined with inadequate protein intake. This gives rise to concerns about obesity and associated health problems. Bangladesh needs targeted initiatives and broad nutritional education to solve these issues. Finally, public health regulations and educational programs must address socioeconomic inequities, bridge knowledge gaps, and encourage people to adopt healthy diets that align with worldwide nutritional standards.
