Background: Measurements of dietary intake in obese and overweight populations are often inaccurate because food intakes are underestimated.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of the combined use of observer-recorded weighed-food records and 24-h snack recalls in estimating energy intakes in overweight and obese individuals.

Design: Subjects were 32 healthy women and 22 healthy men with mean body mass indexes (in kg/m²) of 29.5 and 30.3, respectively. Energy intake (EI) was measured over 2 wk in a university cafeteria. No restrictions were made on meal frequency or EI. To document food consumed outside the cafeteria, 24-h snack recalls were conducted before meals. Energy expenditure (EE) was measured with the doubly labeled water (DLW) method (EE_DLW). Energy balance was determined by measuring body weight at the beginning and end of the 2-wk period.

Results: The mean EI in the women (10.40 ± 1.94 MJ/d) and men (14.37 ± 3.21 MJ/d) was not significantly lower than the EE_DLW in the women (10.86 ± 1.76 MJ/d) and men (14.14 ± 2.83 MJ/d). The mean EI represented 96.9 ± 17.0% and 103 ± 18.9% of the measured EE for women and men, respectively. There were no significant changes in weight in the group as a whole or by sex at the end of the testing period; the men lost 0.23 ± 1.58 kg and the women lost 0.25 ± 1.09 kg.

Conclusion: The combination of observer-recorded food records and 24-h snack recalls is a valid method for measuring EI in overweight and obese individuals. 2002; 75:263–7.
