If a person records only main meals but not snacks, what will be missing?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Accurate assessment of total energy and hidden salt, sugar, and fat
Snacks and drinks between meals can contribute substantial energy, sugar, sodium, saturated fat, or trans fat. Omitting biscuits, fried snacks, sweets, and sweetened beverages makes the estimate of total daily intake incomplete and may hide behaviours relevant to chronic-disease risk. A useful food record should include every food and drink, its approximate quantity, and timing, not only the main meals.
