TI  - Assessment of selective under-reporting of food intake by both obese and 
      non-obese women in a metabolic facility.
PG  - 303-11
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the degree of bias in under-reporting of food intake in 
      obese and non-obese subjects, hypothesising that under-reporting may be selective 
      for either macronutrient content (carbohydrate (CHO), fat, protein, alcohol), 
      specific food types or eating occasions (meals, snacks). DESIGN: Thirty-three 
      women (18 obese, 15 non-obese) were recruited to a long-stay metabolic facility 
      for 24h. Ad libitum food intake was covertly measured throughout the study and a 
      reported food intake completed at the end of 24h. RESULTS: Reported total daily 
      energy intake was significantly lower than measured intake. Whilst meals were 
      accurately reported, energy from snack foods eaten between meals was 
      significantly under-reported. (P< 0.001) Reported total carbohydrate and added 
      sugar intakes were significantly lower than measured, whilst reported protein and 
      fat intakes were not significantly different from measured. Reported alcohol 
      intake was also considerably lower than measured, but high variability prevented 
      significance. CONCLUSIONS: In both obese and non-obese women the major cause of 
      under-reporting, as assessed by covert study design in subjects restricted within 
      a metabolic facility, is the failure to report between-meal snack foods. There is 
      some evidence for increased under-reporting in high CHO, but no evidence of a 
      bias in under-reporting towards high fat or high protein foods.
