Household expenditure by food group. Note: Only data from households with children of complementary feeding age are shown, yielding sample sizes of 5813 households in Bangladesh, 10 868 households in India, and 5202 households in Pakistan. Expenditure includes value of consumption from all sources (purchases, own-production, and in-kind). Different surveys recorded household consumption over different periods: Bangladesh (2 weeks), India (1 week for fruits, vegetables, roots and tubers, and meats; 30 days for cereal products, legumes, and dairy products), Pakistan (2 weeks for most foods, 1 month for cereals and legumes), but we converted expenditures to weekly values in our analysis. Error bars represent 95%CIs. Food expenditure includes expenditure on all foods, including those eaten outside of the home (included in the “Other” category)
