Minimum days estimation for reliable dietary intake information: findings from a digital cohort
Three to four days of dietary data collection, ideally non-consecutive and including at least one weekend day, are sufficient for reliable estimation of most nutrients. These results support and refine FAO recommendations, offering more nutrient-specific guidance for efficient and accurate dietary assessment in epidemiological research.
