“…The changes to diet reported by participants i.e., increase in the intake of raw vegetables, citrus fruit juices and whole fruits (25,27) which persisted even after schools reopened, could have influenced the nutrient intakes. Finally, it is possible that the data were subject to bias of social desirability so that unhealthy food or drink items may have been under-reported, and participants may have overestimated the portion sizes during the interview with the researcher (59,60) . https://doi.org/10.1017/S000711452400120X Published online by Cambridge University Press…”

There are no high-quality data on dietary behavior of adolescents in India. This study aimed to assess the intake of energy (E), macronutrients and selected micronutrients in a sample of 11–13-year-old schoolchildren in Delhi, India. Participants from private schools (n=10) recorded dietary intake using a 3-day food diary. Information was entered into the dietary assessment tool, Intake24, to ascertain portion size and convert data into nutrient intake through integrated food tables. Of the 514 consenting participants, 393 (76.4%) (169 girls, 224 boys) aged 11.4 (± 1.8) years completed the study. The median (interquartile range (IQR) daily E intake was 2580 (2139.3-2989.8) kcal [10.8 (9.0 -12.5) MJ] for girls, and 2941.5 (2466.7- 3599.3) kcal [12.3 (10.3- 15.2) MJ] for boys. The median (IQR) daily nutrient intakes for girls and boys respectively were: protein 64.6 (54.8-79.3) g, 74.4 (61.4; 89.4) g; carbohydrate 336.5 (285.3- 393.6) g, 379.6 (317.8-461.8) g; and saturated fat 45.6 (34.8-58.3) g, 54.6 (41.9-69.5) g. There were no significant between-gender differences in percent E from protein (10.2 (9.2 - 11.4)), or carbohydrate (52.4 (48.7- 56.7)). Girls obtained less percent E from saturated fat (16.1 (11.0-18.2) compared with boys 16.3 (14.2 - 19.1) (P<0.05). E from saturated fat was above Food and Agriculture Organization recommendations in >74% participants. The EAR for iron was achieved by < 40% of girls. In conclusion, strategies to optimize dietary intake of adolescents in India should focus on preventing excess intakes of E and saturated fat, and improving iron intake in girls.
