How much times do we need to spend in our dietary behaviors time? We investigate it from our time distribution and our diet. Therefore, we made a draft of criterion for Time Use classification focused on the dietary behaviors. That classification was set on each time of the followings, "Dietary behavior" "Household work" "Physically Social/Cultural activities" "Exercise/Rest" "Paid work". Dietary behaviors time included time for having Meal time and Food preparation time. We analyzed the behaviors of a woman during child care period in 27 successive days using our classfication, and compared with the Time Use Classification of Ito/Amano. The results were as follows: The classification of Ito/Amano (1) did not have shopping item for only purchase of food materials, (2) Child care and House life management items included Food preparation time. It was suggested that our classification is effective to catch the whole dietary behavior and it could be used on the nutrition programes practically.
