Abstract: . The study of the dietary intake and the quality of the diet of adults based on representative national data made it possible to demonstrate a significant impact of the per capita income of the household (family) on the actual consumption of energy and nutrients, as well as on the structure of the food set of the diet of adult household members. Conditionally called «poor» diet with low household incomes is characterized by a higher consumption of grain products and flour confectionery (pastry), which is reflected in an increase in the % of energy of the sum of carbohydrates and polysaccharides (starch). Accordingly, at high incomes, the consumption of these dietary factors is lower than at low incomes. However, with an increase in income, the consumption of fat, saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, the so-called critical nutrients of animal origin, increases, which cannot be assessed as a positive feature of a "rich" diet.
