Having a good national food security condition does not guarantee resilience at the regional level, even households or individual level. This is because each household has different food availability and food accents which will influence the nutritional value that can be absorbed by each individual in each family. Other factors influencing household consumption patterns are the availability and good distribution of different types of food, good knowledge of nutrition and health issues, and the level of economic growth in the region. In order to know the energy and protein consumption of Kudus District population, it can be seen from agroecological characteristics which are divided into 2 regions namely, agricultural area and industrial area. This research district level, especially rural households explores information about age of in Kudus District
