1. Which method, a single 24-hour recall or the 2-day diet record, provides a more accurate description of the true intake of an individual?
2. Would a single 24-hour recall from each student be a suitable method for describing true intake of all of the "NTDT 421" students as a group (the average of the group)?
3. Which of the nutrients (cholesterol, vitamin D, vitamin C, sodium, iron, and folate) are consumed with a high amount of within person variability, and thus would require many days of recall/recording or an FFQ to better estimate true, habitual intake?
4. What is the time period of recall for the food frequency questionnaire?
5. Compare your intake across the 3 different diet assessment methods used (24-hour recall, diet record, FFQ). For the nutrients in both tables, name two nutrients that had the greatest agreement between all three methods (for which nutrient was your estimated intake most similar for)? Did this surprise you, why or why not?
6. Compare your intake across the 3 different diet assessment tools (24-hour recall, diet record, FFQ). For the nutrients in both tables, name two nutrients that had the least agreement between all three methods. Did this surprise you, why or why not?
7. If you are interested in capturing the intake of vitamin C or cholesterol at the individual level, in a research setting, what diet assessment method would you recommend and why?
8. If you are interested in capturing the intake of vitamin C or cholesterol at the individual level, in a clinical setting, what diet assessment method would you recommend and why?
9. Is the FFQ a tool that you can use in a clinical setting? Why or why not?
