A food record is used to record the food taken at the time of consumption.

The respondent is asked to record at the time of consumption all foods and drinks
including snacks and even supplements taken for a specific period of time.

The respondent gives a detailed description of all foods and beverages taken as well as
methods of food preparation and cooking.

The amount of ingredients in the dish and amount consumed is recorded.

The food proportion sizes can be estimated by the respondent using a variety of
procedures at differing levels of precision. For example spoons, glass and cups.
The number of days included in an estimated record varies like 24hour recall, 7 days
food frequency, 14 days food frequency or one month food recall
