The research aimed at 1- Studying the development of the daily per capita daily food, protein and calories from their various sources (plant and animal) intake from the daily food per capita in Egypt during the period (2010-2022),2- Estimating the nutritional content of protein and calories intake from daily food of the individual in study sample, 3- Studying impact of the most important economic and social factors on the daily per capita share of both protein and energy intake from daily food of the individual from its various sources for the study sample, and the study was based on methods Descriptive and quantitative analysis of the variables study, study relied on two types of data, the first of which is published secondary data (Food Balance Bulletin) to identify the evolution of the Egyptian per capita food components, as an indicator to study the nutritional situation and the economic situation of the family and individuals in the Egyptian countryside, and the primary data collected through a questionnaire form for the year 2024, for a sample from the countryside of Sharkia Governorate. The results showed that the average per capita total protein per day amounted to about 105 grams, with an annual decrease rate of about 0.85% of the average annual per capita during the study period, and by studying the average daily intake of protein per person from an animal source per gram, it was found that it amounted to about (26 grams) / day, which is equivalent to about 25% of the total protein intake per day during the period (2010-2022), 74% of the recommended, but it is still less than the recommended limit By the competent organizations (food and agriculture, and global health) which is 35 grams/day animal protein, and this would require finding appropriate solutions to ensure that the individual obtains the recommended amounts of animal protein because it contains the essential amino acids necessary for building body, especially for the most needy age groups such as children in the growth stage, and pregnant women, in order to avoid malnutrition in addition to many diseases resulting from the lack of these acids. As for the field sample, it was found that the individual in study sample gets only 70% of his needs of the total protein in his daily diet (49 grams), and shows the deficit in animal protein (17 grams), which is the most important in terms of health for the body, as the individual eats half of his daily needs, due to the low income, and the high price of animal protein sources, which would necessitate the development of a mechanism to provide these goods to the individual to achieve food security for him, study shown also the most important factors affecting per capita intake of protein and energy in study sample that each of the economic factors such as expenditure has a statistically significant impact on per capita intake of protein and energy intake daily at a significant level of 1%, and difference in income levels has a statistically significant impact on per capita intake of animal and plant protein for the upper income group only at a significant level of 1%, and statistically significant for the capita intake of energy from its sources and total energy at 1% for the category The upper income, and moral at 5% for middle income category, and some social factors such as family size have statistically significant impact on the per capita intake of protein and total energy and from their various sources, and the difference in level of education has a significant impact on the per capita intake of animal and plant protein at a moral level of 1% for the higher education category and for total energy and from both sources at a moral level of 1% for the higher education category only, which requires attention to the economic situation and improving level of income for the sample families to ensure the status of Good food for them.
