Percentage of children age 6-23 months who were fed egg and/or flesh food during the previous day.
Coverage:
Population base: Youngest child age 6-23 months living with the mother (KR file)
Time period: Previous day or night before the survey
Numerator: Number of youngest children age 6-23 months living with the mother who were fed egg (v414g = 1) and/or flesh food (v414h = 1 or v414m = 1 or v414n = 1 or v414b = 1) during the previous day or night.
Denominator: Number of youngest children age 6-23 months living with the mother. See Calculation of denominator in Percentage of children fed the minimum dietary diversity, the minimum meal frequency, the minimum milk feeding frequency, and the minimum acceptable diet for the selection for the denominator.
Variables: KR file.

Based on DHS-8 standard questionnaires. Other variables may be needed if additional survey-specific liquid and foods are included.
Numerator divided by denominator, multiplied by 100.
Specific liquids and foods: Missing values and “don’t know” excluded from numerators in all percentages but included in denominators.
Country-specific liquids and foods may be added to each category. Percentages are based only on children living with the mother. Children living elsewhere are excluded from both the numerators and the denominators.
If the last-born child is deceased or not living with the mother, questions on foods and liquids are asked of the prior child born in the two years preceding the interview.
