24-hour Dietary Recall

A 24-hour dietary recall is a method used to assess an individual's food and drink intake over the past day. In this process, a person is asked to remember and describe everything they consumed in the last 24 hours, including meals, snacks, and beverages. This information helps nutritionists and health professionals understand dietary habits, identify nutrient intake, and detect possible nutritional deficiencies or excesses. It’s a valuable tool for creating personalized dietary recommendations and improving overall nutritional health. The recall is typically conducted via an interview, ensuring accuracy and thoroughness in reporting intake.
