Preliminary research has suggested that wearable cameras may reduce under-reporting of energy intake (EI) in self-reported dietary assessment. The aim the present study was to test validity a camera-assisted 24 h recall against doubly labelled water (DLW) technique. Total expenditure (TEE) assessed over 15 d using DLW protocol among forty adults ( n 20 males, age 35 sd 17) years, BMI 27 4) kg/m 2 and females, 28 7) 22 2) ). EI three multiple-pass recalls (MP24) on days 2–4, 8–10 13–15. On...

To date, there has been a paucity of research on optimal ways to educate and promote dietary behavioural change within athletes. Optimising athlete nutrition is fundamental reaching peak performance maintaining wellbeing. MealLogger® smartphone application that incorporates the use an image-based food record social-media functionality provide in-application personalised feedback individuals or groups, peer-support, platform deliver education material.

Young Australians aged between 18 and 30 years have experienced the largest increase in body mass index spend proportion of their food budget on fast eating out. Frequent consumption foods purchased eaten away from home has been linked to poorer diet quality weight gain. There no Australian research regarding quantities, type, or frequency prepared outside by young adults its impact energy nutrient intakes.The objective this study was determine relative contributions different outlets (eg,...
Fish oils oxidise readily, forming primary and secondary oxidation products, which may be harmful for humans. Some recent studies reported that fish oil supplements in Australasia are oxidised above acceptable international limits, however other low levels of oxidation. This study employed peroxide p-anisidine values determination to measure the Australian market. Of 26 tested, 38% exceeded limit oxidation, 25% 33% total according recommendations. Four specially marketed were found deliver...
Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) are used in the food supply to replace sugar and/or reduce dietary energy intake. The aim of this research was assess consumption prevalence and sources NNS Australian population. Food group nutrient intakes were assessed compare diet quality consumers non-consumers. Secondary analysis National Nutrition Physical Activity Survey, 2011/12 conducted (n = 12,435) after identifying all products consumed proportion participants that reported intake per day 18.2% for...
Abstract The role of socio-economic status (SES) on the misreporting food and energy intakes is not well understood with disagreement in literature. aim this study was to examine associations between low reporting, dietary quality SES a representative sample adults. Dietary data were collected using 2 d 24-h recalls for 6114 adults aged 19 years over, participating Australian National Nutrition Physical Activity Survey 2011–2012. Low reporters (LER) plausible (PR) identified. Discretionary...
Technology-enhanced methods of dietary assessment may still face common limitations self-report. This study aimed to assess foods and beverages omitted when both a 24 h recall smartphone app were used intake compared with camera images. For three consecutive days, young adults (18–30 years) wore an Autographer that took point-of-view images every 30 seconds. Over the same period, participants reported their diet in completed daily recalls. Camera reviewed for food beverages, then matched...
Growth in the consumer health and wellness industry has led to an increase of packaged foods marketed as food (HF) products. In consequence, a ‘health halo’ around HF arisen that influences consumers at point-of-purchase. This study compared product claims (nutrient content (NCC), marketing ‘buzzwords’) displayed on snack products sold stores aisles supermarkets equivalent regular (RA) supermarkets. Product Health Star Rating (HSR), nutrient profile price were also compared. Data collected...
Young adults are the highest consumers of food prepared outside home (FOH) and gain most weight among Australian adults. One strategy to address obesogenic environment is menu labelling legislation whereby outlets with >20 stores in one state >50 Australia-wide must display energy content kJ. The aim this study was assess contribution FOH macronutrients, saturated fat, total sugars sodium intakes young Australians. thousand 18 30-year-olds (57% female) residing Australia’s populous...
The use of embedded smartphone sensors offers opportunities to measure physical activity (PA) and human movement. Big data-which includes billions digital traces-offers scientists a new lens examine PA in fine-grained detail allows us track people's geocoded movement patterns determine their interaction with the environment.The objective this study was validity Movn app (Moving Analytics) for collecting data.The criterion convergent estimating energy expenditure (EE) were assessed both...
This study examined the association of social contexts and food preparation location with quality meals snacks (predominately from five groups (FFG) versus discretionary foods) in a sample young Australian adults (18-30 years old) using wearable camera technology.A sub-sample cross-sectional MYMeals wore that captured images every 30 s for three consecutive days. Eating episodes 133 participants (55% female) were classified across 4 domains: (observed proportion FFG items), location,...
Breakfast is an important contributor to the daily dietary intake of children. This study investigated nutritional composition ready eat (RTE) children’s breakfast cereals, which display fictional cartoon characters and themes, compared other cereals available in Australia. Nutrient content claims on packaging were also examined. Data collected from RTE cereal packages (N = 347) four major supermarkets Sydney. Cereals classified based product type promotional information displayed. Overall,...
