What is a food record?

A food record is a type of Professional resource you can create for a client or as a workspace resource. Use a food record to record all food, drink and dietary supplement intake of a subject retrospectively over one or more days. 

You can analyse food records as an average intake per day (Avg/day), per 1 megajoule of the total record (1MJ), or by the sum of all foods recorded (Total).

In Professional, food records can be associated with a client or they can exist on their own as a workspace resource.

When a food record is associated with a client you can view the client's planned nutrient intake against their Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) and their custom goals. To find out more about NRVs, see the support article Nutrient Reference Values explained.

Food records that are initially created as a workspace resource can be copied to one or more clients.
