INTRODUCTION
Diet survey is usually done by
following methods-
i. Weighment method:
a) Raw food
b) Cooked food
ii. Oral questionnaire method:
a) Last 24 hours recall method
b) One week recall method
iii. Stock inventory method
The 24 hour recall/oral questionnaire method has certain
fallacies –
-There can be a fast observed in the previous 24 hours
hence, Restricted food consumption.
-There may be a feast celebrated in the previous 24 hours
Hence, increased and atypical food consumption.
-The method depends on the subject’s ability to recall from
memory all that he/she has eaten in the previous 24 hours
hence, it may not be accurate.
-There may be day to day variation in the food
consumption.
-Some members of the family may be following restricted
diets due to certain illnesses.
OBJECTIVES

 To assess the nutritional status of members of the

 To suggest recommendations(if any) for
improvement.

DIETARY SURVEY(contd.)

The total calorie intake is calculated by adding

up the calories present in the foods as shown in
the previous slide-
= 8173.40 Kcal

The total protein intake is calculated similarly

= 347.98 grams
CONSUMPTION UNIT

The energy required by an adult male doing

sedentary work is taken as 1CU and coefficients
for other individuals is worked on the basis of
calorie requirement relative to that of sedentary
man.

[1CU= 2320 Kcal]

 GROUP CONSUMPTION UNIT (CU)
Adult male (Sedentary worker) 1.0
Adult male (Moderate worker) 1.2
Adult male (Heavy worker) 1.6
Adult female (Sedentary worker) 0.8
Adult female (Moderate worker) 0.9
Adult female (Heavy worker) 1.2
12-21 years 1.0
9-12 years 0.8
7-9 years 0.7
5-7 years 0.6
3-5 years 0.5
1-3 years 0.4

Total CU of the family= 4 CU

CALORIE PLUS PROTEIN DEFICIT
OR SURPLUS
Total consumption unit of the family is 4 CU
Since 1 consumption unit(CU)= 2320 Kcal
So, required calorie intake of the family is
= 4 x 2320 Kcal
= 9280 Kcal
Calculated calorie intake is 8173.40 Kcal
So, calorie deficit= 1106.60 Kcal or 11.92%
CALORIE PLUS PROTEIN DEFICIT
OR SURPLUS

Total protein requirement of the family is ….

Calculated protein intake= 347.98 grams
