Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A single 24-hour dietary recall only captures information about one day of food and beverage consumption, which may not be representative of an individual's usual intake. It is subject to various errors, such as a person's memory, estimation, and individual variations in their day-to-day intake. Therefore, multiple recalls or other methods should be used to get a better understanding of an individual's dietary habits.
