Food available by nation, kilocalories per person per day, FAOSTAT 2023.
Dietary energy supply is ranked by nation using 2023 food-balance values for food available for human consumption. The leaderboard contains 10 nations measured in kilocalories per person per day. The United States ranked first at 3,947 kcal/day, followed by Belgium and Ireland at 3,921 kcal/day each when rounded. The measure captures food supply availability, not individual calorie intake.

Evidence: Explains that FAOSTAT converts food quantities to dietary energy content of the edible portion available for human consumption.
Dietary energy supply measures food available for human consumption after food-balance adjustments. It is not a direct household intake survey.
Rank 2023 national all-products dietary energy supply rows and keep the 10 highest values.
All ranked rows use the same FAOSTAT/Data360 source family, period and kilocalories-per-person-per-day unit.
