As part of a larger study of energy-nutrition, we compared the performance of 24 h diet recalls with estimated diet records kept by trained observers. The subjects were economically disadvantaged women (n = 85) in the city of Cali, Colombia. A 24 h recall and an estimated diet record were collected for each woman at 0 and approximately 3 and 6 months. Energy intake obtained from the estimated dietary records was validated against energy expenditure and used as the reference method. Energy and macronutrient intake were calculated from published food composition tables and proximate analyses of common foods. The number of food items consumed per woman per day, total and in each of 16 food groups, was tabulated. Energy and macronutrient intakes were 11-13% lower in the 24 h recalls. The discrepancy energy could be largely accounted for by the lower number of food items in the recalls. The number of food items in eight of 16 food groups was significantly lower in the recalls compared to the records. Underreporting on the recalls was a general tendency in these subjects and not clearly related to average energy intake. We conclude that 24 h diet recalls underestimate energy and nutrient intake in this population and are not suitable for studies of human energetics.

In the course of 12 months, 43 men and 53 women aged 30-40 years were subjected to 14 24-hours recalls and one dietary history concerned with their individual dietary habits. The mean values yielded by the first and the second method for energy, 4 nutrient groups and 8 food groups were statistically evaluated and compared with each other, from which the following conclusions can be drawn as to the reliability and the precision of the dietary history: 1. The dietary history permits the quantitative estimate of the energy and nutrient intake in groups of about 50 subjects with an error of less than 10%. Underestimation of the actual food intake is more likely than overestimation. 2. The same holds true for the quantitative estimate of the consumption of foods from great food groups. The method is considerably less precise in case of single food or irregularly consumed foods. The differences between the results from the two methods ranged from 0 to 25%. 3. The precision of the individual results obtained for energy and nutrient intake from the dietary history was +/- 20% with a probability of 80-90%. In 75% of the cases, the differences in the consumption of food groups as determined by the two methods were smaller than 20%. As to single foods, however, individual misestimations ranging from 30 to 50% are to be expected.
