Dr. Khobragade Shilpa Vasantrao, Dr Harsha R. Shende, Dr Suchita Shrikhande

Abstract :

The goal of dietary assessment is to identify appropriate and actionable areas of change in the patient�s diet and lifestyle and to improve patient health and wellbeing. Patients with complex dietary concerns should receive a comprehensive assessment by a dietitian. Specific dietary and nutritional counseling recommendations will depend on the patient�s comorbidities. Diet records, diet-history questionnaires, 24-h recalls, or food-frequency questionnaires (FFQs) are the most common methods to get individual dietary intakes.
