What is a 24 hour recall?

A 24 hour recall records all the foods, drinks and dietary supplements a person had over the previous day. Unlike a food record, which can cover several days, a 24 hour recall covers one day. Unlike a meal plan, it records what was actually eaten.

You can create a 24 hour recall for a specific client or for the whole workspace. A workspace 24 hour recall can be copied to one or more clients.

Analysing a 24 hour recall

You can view a 24 hour recall's analysis as:

• 1MJ: nutrients per megajoule of energy (nutrient density)
• Total: the sum of everything recorded

For a client's 24 hour recall, you can also compare their intake against their Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) and custom goals. See Nutrient Reference Values explained.
