The only information on women's food consumption in NFHS-5 is on the frequency of consumption of seven different types of food (milk or curd, pulses or beans, dark green leafy vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, chicken or meat), as well as fried foods and aerated drinks (daily, weekly, occasionally, or never). This information is not restricted to any particular time period. NFHS-5 does not include any questions on food consumption by women in the 24 hours preceding the interview. It would be possible to examine how many different types of food the respondent normally eats, but that will not give you an estimate of minimum dietary diversity for women in the last 24 hours.
