AB  - Jordan has never conducted a nutrition survey to determine nutrient and energy 
      intakes. The current study aimed to describe the energy and macronutrient 
      consumed by the Jordanian population. A cross-sectional food consumption study 
      was conducted, including a sample of Jordanians using two non-consecutive 24-h 
      dietary recalls (24-h DR) between October 2021 and March 2022. A total of 2145 
      males and females aged 8 to 85 years old living in households were studied. The 
      average of two 24-h DRs for each individual was converted into energy and 
      nutrient intakes. After measuring weight, height, and waist circumference, the 
      body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. The 
      percentage of under-reporters was higher in women than men (58.2% vs. 45.9%). 
      Adults and older adult women had the highest prevalence of obesity (29.6%), while 
      adults and older adult men had the highest prevalence of overweight (41.4%). 
      There is a significant increase in energy intake in children, boys, and all 
      adults, compared to the recommended calories. The mean energy percentage (E %) of 
      total fat was 38%, exceeding the upper limit of the Acceptable Macronutrient 
      Distribution Range (AMDR). At the same time, the mean daily dietary fiber intake 
      fell below the recommended levels (ranging from 13.5 g in children to 19.5 g in 
      older adults). The study population consumes more fat and less fiber than the 
      recommended levels. Actions must be taken across all age groups to correct the 
      deviation of energy and macronutrient intakes from the recommended dietary 
      allowances.
