Twenty‐four hour dietary recalls were collected from eighty‐five school aged children eight to ten years of age in Cotocollao Alto, Quito, Equador. Socioeconomic, food frequency, and dietary history data were also collected from the food system gatekeeper of each child's family. Mean proportions of the 1974 FAO/WHO Recommended Nutrient Intakes adjusted for sex and age were 50% or greater. Migrating women and their children did change their dietary patterns when they moved from rural to urban areas of Ecuador. These changes were examined to describe potentially positive, negative, or neutral effects on the dietary adequacy of the children.
