Diet Assessment

A nutritional assessment is simply an assessment of nutrient intake. My diet assessments can involve either 1-day, 3-day or 7-day 24-hour weighed food records to provide the most accurate description of the food consumed over the 1, 3 or 7 days. A multiple day assessment is better for determining ‘usual’ intake. The participant records and weighs all food and beverages consumed in the 24-hour period. These records will be used to conduct a sophisticated and detailed diet assessment to evaluate nutrient, energy or food group intakes which will be compared with the current Australian Dietary Guidelines (ADG’s) and Nutrient Reference Values (NRV’s) according to your age and gender. Practical strategies and recommendations will be provided to ensure that your diet is benefitting your health by satisfying your macro and micronutrient requirements based on your gender, age and physical activity status. Where there is a concern for a nutrient deficiency, a clinical assessment or biochemical test will be recommended.

 This diet assessment will include the following:

• completion of a pre-screening questionnaire  
• a detailed diet assessment (3-day 24-hour weighed food record)  
• recommendations for achieving your goals and improving your diet
