Interviewer instructions

This question aims at getting the SHARE of household food consumption that was pertaken the guest. Normally, we would consider that a household takes THREE MEALS PER DAY (Breakfast, Luch and Dinner) but there are some households that tend to have two meals per day. Moreover, different people define meals differently. Some may call breakfast a meal and some not. Another person may have tea and a slice of bread for dinner and call it a meal while others might not. In Pemba, many people tend to have one big meal in the afternoon and have snacks in the evening (tea and maandazi, visheti, halua etc) instead of a hot/balanced meal.

What is a person's FOOD SHARE?
We define a SHARE as the proportion of person-meals per day consumed in a particular household. This means that if we assume that households take TWO MEALS PER DAY, then a guest can consume 0, 1, or 2 meals per day. This means that we consider a MAXIMUM of TWO MEALS per day. Below are some scenarios that relate MEALS to SHARES.
(i) If a guest consumes 0 MEALS in the household PER DAY then he/she has consumed 0 SHARES of the person-meals in that day.
(ii) If a guest consumes 1 MEALS in the household PER DAY then he/she has consumed 1 SHARES of the person-meals in that day.
(iii) If a guest consumes 2 MEALS in the household PER DAY then he/she has consumed 2 SHARES of the person-meals in that day.
Therefore each meal missed by 1 guest is equivalent to 1 SHARE
