Considerable evidence proves that self-reported dietary intake
using written diaries or recalls are subject to bias resulting in
poor accuracy. While dietary intake data are needed to drive many
nutritional policies, the obesity epidemic has increased the need
to assess diet with absolute accuracy. This book reviews the
field of research methods in dietary assessment. Chapters cover
laboratory and free-living dietary methods; computer-assisted
recall methods; dietary energy intake models; dietary and
isotopic biomarkers; photographic diet diaries; chewing and
swallowing sensors for detection; and novel electronic monitoring
devices under investigation.
