      abstract = {This study aims to examine the relationship between  nutrient availability and the selfreported health of  individuals in Nepal using the data from the Nepal Living  Standards Survey (NLSS) and employing an ordered logit  estimation. We find that an increase in the availability of  proteins and fats increases the level of self-reported  health of individuals in Nepal. However, micronutrient  availability’s relationship with self-reported health is  either mixed or insignificant. We also find that access to  a greater variety of food increases self-reported health  until individuals meet their basic caloric requirements.  Moreover, there are perceptional differences related to the  effect of proteins consumed from different food groups  (meats, dairy, and lentils) on self-reported health.  Finally, macronutrient availability from expensive  nutrient-dense foods seems to be the main driver of  improvements in self-reported health.},
