Can anyone assist me with information on how to calculate total household food consumption and disaggregate the total calories consumed?

The guidelines will help you quickly calculate that. I hope it will be helpful. Thanks
The method of choice for measuring house hold food consumption depends on characteristics of the population, purpose of the data etc. Eliasu's reference 1 is a good guide.I think food record method or 24-hour recall method will probably suit your population. Disaggregation will not generate useful data. If you wish to know energy intake by life stage and sex, you should estimate individual's food consumption. You may also check another link for method.
