Nigerian diets consumed by population growth in the Calabor Metropolis were analysed for protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre and mineral constituents. The crude protein content ranged between 5.4% and 26.3% (dry weight), 9.5% and 24.4% and 7.2% and 25.5% for breakfast, lunch and dinner diets, respectively. The ranges of values for carbohydrate, crude fat, crude fibre and total cholesterol were 32-83%, 9-39%, 1.3-3.9% and 54.8-1046 mg (per 100 g dry weight) respectively, for breakfasts; 43-75%, 12-30%, 1.8-3.4% and 452-900 mg, respectively, for lunch diets and 47-78%, 11-28%, 1.5-3.5% and 98.5-863 mg, respectively, for dinners. Typical Nigerian diets provided 25% of total food energy from fat. The mineral analysis provided data on twelve minerals and their distribution in the diets. The results indicate that diets consumed in the Calabor Metropolis contain moderate protein, low fat and cholesterol, high carbohydrate and dietary fibre, but the diets of elite groups approximate those of western nations in composition.
