In an initial effort to devise a rapid assessment alternative that would provide a reliable estimate of an individual\u27s usual dietary pattern, a Predicted Food List (estimated, abbreviated food frequency), an Actual Food List (recorded, truncated food frequency), and a Typical Diet Day (foods perceived as commonly consumed in a 24-hour period) were compared with a 75-day food record. Overall, the Predicted Food List appeared to be the best tool for depicting an individual\u27s usual food intake. It was concluded that a shortened list of food items characterizing an individual\u27s normal nutrient intake level may be a useful instrument allowing rapid screening of selected at risk nutrients.https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/aes_techbulletin/1080/thumbnail.jp
