Dietary recall is a method used to assess an individual's food and beverage intake over a specific period, usually the past 24 hours. Participants are asked to remember and report everything they consumed, including portion sizes and preparation methods. This information helps researchers and health professionals understand dietary habits and nutritional intake. The process often involves structured interviews or questionnaires, where trained interviewers guide participants through their meals and snacks. Dietary recall is commonly used in studies related to nutrition, public health, and dietary guidelines, providing valuable data for improving health outcomes and informing dietary recommendations.
