The Food Consumption Survey examines the eating habits, food and nutrient consumption of the population living in Belgium. It also assesses physical activity and sedentary behaviour, as well as other nutrition-related topics such as body mass index, food security, food literacy, food safety and eating disorders. Such data are needed to inform and guide food policy and recommendations.
Food consumption surveys must be carried out on a regular basis, as habits change over time. The first survey, conducted in Belgium in 2004, examined the eating habits of individuals aged 15 to 64. From 2014 to 2015, data was collected from 3200 individuals aged 3 to 64. The most recent survey, conducted in 2022 and 2023, involved almost 3000 participants aged three and older, as well as additional samples of around 1000 people in Brussels and 160 people in the German-speaking community. Detailed methodological information can be found here.
This interactive dashboard presents the results of the Food Consumption Surveys conducted in 2014-2015 and 2022-2023. Results are presented by theme, each theme being a separate tab.
Weight status and eating disorders
This tab includes results related to weight status in the total population (i.e. overweight and obesity, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio), weight management and eating disorders in adolescents and adults. It also includes information on the risk of undernutrition in older adults aged 65 years and older.
Food habits and determinants
This tab shows information on several specific eating habits known to impact the quality of the diet (i.e. breakfast frequency, involvement of children and adolescents in meal preparation, watching television during dinner, and consuming meals outside the home). It also includes results on food security, food literacy, government actions, marketing, food labels, and other factors involved in individual food choices. For children aged 3-9 years, their parents were the ones who answered these questions on their behalf.
Physical activity and sedentary behaviours
This tab includes results on physical activity and sedentary behaviour. This tab is divided by age group: children (3-9 years), adolescents (10-17 years), adults (18-64 years) and older adults (65 years and older). For each age group, results related to the amount of physical activity and sedentary time, and the context of physical activity and sedentary behaviour are available for each age group.
Food consumption and adherence to food-based dietary guidelines
This tab presents the amounts of foods consumed by the population. These are organised into several subtabs according to the method used to calculate food consumption: “Habitual intake”, “Mean over two days”, “Consumption on consumption days”, “Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ)”, and “Guidelines”. The last of these includes results on the proportion of the population meeting the current food-based dietary guidelines, as defined by the Superior Health council (2025).
Nutrient intake and adherence to dietary reference values
This last tab includes results on energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intakes, as well as the proportions of the population in relation to dietary reference values (DRV). For each nutrient, this tab also provides data on the contribution of the main food groups to the population's energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intakes. Categories for the BMI subgroup analysis only contains normal weight, overweight and obese. Underweight was not included since it has very small sample size for a SPADE analysis.
In each tab, a side panel allows the user to select the measure of interest, and several filter variables such as survey year, region, age, sex, and level of education. Not all the combinations of filter variables are available. It is possible, however, to stratify the results by survey year (2014-2015 and 2022-2023) and by region (Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels, where available), and therefore get the results by age, sex, age and sex, and level of education (and region) in each selected stratum. However, it is not possible to filter the results by age and level of education, or by sex and level of education. The year options of 2014-2015 and 2022-2023 are respectively displayed as 2014 and 2022 in the side panel.
Drop-down menus without a ▼ symbol indicates that selecting multiple options is possible. To deselect options in this case, click on the input box or the item you want to remove and press delete or backspace in your keyboard.
Several types of measures are possible: binary, continuous and categorical. While the table outputted has the same basic format regardless of the type of indicators, some elements differ. For binary measures, the table includes a percentage (“Percent”), while for continuous measures, the average is provided (“Mean”). For both types, lower (“lowercl”) and upper (“uppercl”) bounds of the 95% confidence interval are provided, as well as the number of participants on which the percentage or the average is based (“Frequency”). For categorical measures, the distribution of the (sub) population in the different categories is presented in the table. For each category, the percentage and the confidence interval are given. All produced estimates are weighted according to age, sex and level of education to ensure they are representative of the reference population.
This interactive dashboard only produces interactive result tables. On our website, however, you will find the main results of the 2022-2023 Food Consumption Survey with graphs and descriptions of the results. If you need to access the complete database, please follow the procedure described here.

It also includes results on food security, food literacy, government actions, marketing, food labels, and other factors involved in individual food choices. For children aged 3-9 years, their parents were the ones who answered these questions on their behalf.
This page allows to explore results on the amount of physical activity and sedentary time in children aged 3 to 9 years, objectively measured using accelerometers. In addition, parents answered questions about their child’s physical activity and sedentary behaviour, on the basis of the European Toybox questionnaire, which give a view on the context of these behavious.
This page allows to explore results on the amount of physical activity and sedentary time in adolescents aged 10 – 17 years, objectively measured using accelerometers. In addition, the context of physical activity and sedentary behaviours was assessed. For this, adolescents also answered questions derived from the Flemish Physical Activity Questionnaire (FPAQ).
This page allows to explore results on the amount of physical activity and sedentary time, and the context of physical activity and sedentary behaviours in adults aged 18-64 years. All data were self-reported by the participants. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) long version was used, together with additional questions on screen time and sitting time at work.
This page allows to explore results on the amount of physical activity and sedentary time, and the context of physical activity and sedentary behaviours in adults aged 65 years and older. All data were self-reported by the participants. An adapted version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) long version was used, together with additional questions on screen time.
This page allows to explore results on habitual food intake of 12 commonly consumed food groups. Food group definitions differ from those defined to assess adherence to dietary guidelines and are classified according to the Belgian Food Consumption Survey software GloboDiet®. Habitual intake was estimated using data from two non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls.
Results on the food groups “potatoes and other tubers”, “legumes”, “eggs and egg products”, “dairy products and substitutes”, “soups and stocks” and “miscellaneous” are unavailable either due to insufficient number of individuals with two positive intakes or the failure to satisfy analysis assumptions.
You can download here the list of all the foods included in each GloboDiet food group.
This page allows to explore results on average food consumption for the 18 food groups and their sub-groups as classified in the Belgian Food Consumption Survey software GloboDiet®. The mean daily consumption was calculated based on the two 24-hour dietary recalls. Given the skewed distribution of many of the foods, the mean value and the 95% confidence interval around the mean should be interpreted with caution. More accurate habitual distributions (for the 12 of the 18 food groups only) are available on the “Habitual food intake” page.
You can download here the list of all the foods included in each GloboDiet food group.
This page allows to explore the results from the Food Propensity Questionnaire which measured how often specific foods or food groups had been consumed over the past 12 months. Response options ranged from ‘Never’ to ‘More than 3 times per day’. To facilitate interpretation, some response categories were regrouped: ‘Less than once per month’ and ‘1–3 times per month’ were combined into ‘less than once a week’, while ‘1 time per day’, ‘2–3 times per day’, and ‘more than 3 times per day’ were grouped as ‘once a day or more’.
This tab presents the habitual intake of the food-based dietary guidelines and the proportion of the adult population meeting the food-based dietary guidelines, as defined by the Superior Health Council (2025).
This page presents the following:
Intake refers to the estimated habitual intake (also known as usual or long-term intake), representing the average daily intake over the long term. This is calculated from two non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls using the statistical tool Statistical Program to Assess habitual Dietary Exposure (SPADE).
The variable 'Cut-off' indicates the value used to evaluate adherence to the dietary guideline in adults only (18+ years). If the variable "Cut-off" has a value, the variable '%' shows the percentage of the adult population (18+ years) meeting the cut-off value.
The results are available for the following age groups:
The results by BMI for (1) habitual intake and (2) adult proportions in relation to cut-off value are not available for underweight due to an insufficient number of participants (with two positive intakes) in the underweight group.

| Food group | FFQ items |
|---|---|
| Pulses (% at least 2 times a week) |
The proportion is calculated based on the food frequency questionnaire item "pulses and pulse-based spreads" and includes individuals who reported consuming them at least twice a week. |
| Wholegrain products (% never-consumers) |
The proportion is calculated based on the food frequency questionnaire items for " brown bread and/or wholegrain bread (multigrain bread)", "wholegrain breakfast cereals", " brown rice" and "wholegrain pasta, pasta products". Individuals who reported never consuming each of these items in the last 12 months were considered as never consuming wholegrain products. As brown bread is combined with wholegrain bread, the resulting proportion is an underestimate. |
| Alcoholic beverages (% never-consumers) |
The proportion is calculated based on the food frequency questionnaire items "wine", " beer with alcohol", "strong spirits", " energy drinks mixed with alcohol", " alcoholic cocktails and aperitifs" and includes individuals who reported that they never consume any of these in the last 12 months. |

This page allows to explore results on the habitual intake of energy, macronutrients, and selected micronutrients. Habitual intake was estimated as the long-term average daily intake, based on data from two non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls, linked to food composition tables. Habitual nutrient intake was compared with relevant dietary reference values (DRVs). Dietary reference values (DRVs) are population-based standards developed to support adequate nutrient intake for maintaining health and preventing disease.
Results are presented by sex, standard age groups, region and level of education. For macronutrients, intake is expressed both in grams per day (g/day) and as a percentage of total energy intake (En%), while micronutrient intake is expressed in milligrams per day (mg/day), micrograms per day (ug/day), or milligrams per megajoule (mg/MJ), depending on the nutrient.
Due to statistical limitations, the results for some of the micronutrients cannot be presented by level of education, region, or BMI.
In the FCS 2022-2023, the following types of reference values were used:
Habitual intake is presented both as En% (percentage of daily energy) and g/day (or in g/kg body weight/day for protein). Expressing intake in En% facilitates comparisons across subgroups with different energy requirements.
Energy percentages are calculated using 9 kcal/g for fat and 4 kcal/g for protein and carbohydrates (e.g., En% = 100 × [nutrient (g) × kcal/g] / total energy (kcal)).
Reference intake ranges (RIs) are applied to carbohydrates, total fat, monounsaturated fat, polyunsaturated fat and proteins. For these macronutrients, results are displayed as the percentage of the population below the lower and above the upper bounds of each RI.
* For all macronutrients, the lower and upper cut-off are indicated in the table. These cut-offs are generally the same regardless of age and sex, except for total fat where the lower reference level is 20 En%, except for 3 year-olds (35 En%) and the upper reference level is 35 En%, except for 3-year olds (40 En%).
Saturated fatty acids intake is evaluated against an upper intake level (UL) defined as a 'safe and adequate intake'. The proportion exceeding this level is presented, indicating the proportion of the population with excessive saturated fatty acid intake.
For dietary fibre, alfa-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA), an average intake (AI) is used to evaluate the intake of the population.

Habitual intake is expressed in appropriate units (mg/day; μg/day; mg/MJ).
Average requirements (AR) are used for vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, folate, folate equivalents, vitamin C, calcium, and iron.
Adequate intakes (AI) are used for alfa-linolic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine, and sodium.
Tolerable upper intake levels (UL) are used for vitamin A, vitamin B6, folate, folate equivalents, vitamin D, calcium (18+) and sodium. For sodium, this is defined as a safe and adequate intake rather than a strict upper limit.
Results include the percentage of the population with habitual intake below AR and/or above UL and and/or interpretation of the AI (adequate, inadequate or inconclusive).
