This study aims to: (1) determine the food energy consumption of poor households in Nagari Nyiur Melambai, Ranah Pesisir District; (2) assess the food security status of poor households; (3) analyze the effects of income, expenditure proportion, family size, husband’s education, and poverty on food security and poverty. The research was conducted from June to July 2024 using purposive sampling. Primary and secondary data were used. The analysis applied a descriptive associative method with multiple linear regression and the Sobel Test. Results showed an average household energy consumption of 2,036.43 kcal/day. Food security levels: 50.56% secure, 11.24% nearly secure, 33.71% vulnerable, and 4.49% food insecure.
