P Cok, and B de Bernard, and M P Francescato

The aim of the work was a diet analysis practice both accurate and simple to be used in daily applications. The subject records in real time his intake by employing the portion of food as unit of measure. Through the recipes, which may be obtained in deferred time, data are then reorganized by EDP to match food composition data of literature. A food composition table management system was developed which avoids vacancies of data: nine different sources from literature were used. The fact that the subjects records in a simple and concise way his intakes permits prolonged investigation: slight alterations of the diet are possible without changing his food preferences and with minimum reduction of compliance.
