Percentage of people living under poverty line is reducing from 1995 to 2010 period but actual number of population living under poverty line is still very high. Food consumption pattern of the people are imbalanced in nature and it is significantly biased towards cereals or carbohydrate enrich foods. Using the data of Household Income Expenditure Survey of 2010 published by Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics it has been found that this kind of consumption pattern prevails among all poverty groups i.e. hardcore poor, poor and non poor. Using the same data set it is shown that none of the households from poor and hard core poor able to intake the recommended calorie and only 55.4% of non-poor households are receiving the desired calorie. Huge difference exists in carbohydrate intake more than the required amount between hard core poor, and poor and non-poor households. In case of percentage of population receiving less than the recommended amount for vitamin, fat, and protein intake is also very high
