Overview

Brief Summary

The study will assess the accuracy of food capture methods using a novel mobile application. This will be done by comparing the energy and nutrient content of reported foods against those of foods actually consumed (i.e., reported vs actual). Two methods of using the application will be tested:

During each eating occasion to report foods and amounts consumed
By taking photographs of every food consumed, using the camera functionality of the mobile application and using the application the following day (according to the availability of the study subjects) to report foods and amounts consumed. This is to be consistent with the concept of a 24-hour dietary recall.

One group will use a standard 24-hour dietary recall method.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Energy and nutrient content captured on the mobile application

Time Frame: Day 1 intakes recorded on application after meals

During each eating occasion to report foods and amounts consumed

Secondary Outcomes

Energy and nutrient content captured on the mobile application by taking photographs of food consumed(Day 1 intakes photographed on application after meals)
Assess whether food capture using the mobile application is comparable with a conventional 24-hour recall.(Day 1 intakes will be reviewed by recall method)
