Why is writing only food names in a food record not enough?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Quantity helps determine actual intake
The same food can provide very different amounts of energy, protein, sodium, sugar, or other nutrients depending on portion size and preparation. A useful food record therefore includes quantities, ingredients, cooking method, time, and sometimes brand information. Recording only names prevents accurate estimation of intake and makes dietary assessment less reliable.
