Data were collected by interview technique using FLW behavior questionnaire and food waste questionnaire form filled out by respondents for 4x24 hours. The value of this economic loss will be analyzed using the market price listed on Hargapangan.id and the value of nutrition loss will be analyzed using nutrisurvey2007. The results: there is a relationship between FLW behavior on economic loss (p = 0.02; p 0.05), protein loss (p=0,20;p>0,05), fat loss (p=0,33;p>0,05) and carbohydrate loss (p=0,12;p>0,05). Households are expected to change their FLW behavior in order to minimize economic losses and optimally utilize nutrition.
