An underweight 17-year-old male was 15 minutes late to his nutrition counseling appointment, and he had to leave for a school-related practice in 20 minutes. Which dietary assessment method would be the most appropriate in which the dietician can complete the assessment through a telephonic conversation with the client?

The 24-hour recall method is the most appropriate in this scenario as it can be completed quickly in a telephonic conversation and does not require the client to keep track of their food intake over a longer period of time, which may be challenging for an underweight teenage boy with a busy schedule. The dietician can ask the client to recall all the food and drinks he consumed in the past 24 hours and estimate the portion size and preparation method. This method can provide a snapshot of the client's dietary intake and help the dietician make initial recommendations.
