Low energy reporters vs others: a comparison of reported food intakes
Article Abstract:
Across all different food types, there are those food groups which low energy reporters (LERs) are less likely to report, those which they report less often when they do report them, and those for which they report smaller quantities per mention. The elements which showed the largest number of food group differences were the tendency to report a food and the portion sizes per mention. There is some evidence that LERs tend to be restrained eaters, showing a pattern of making lower energy food choices. Further research is required to improve dietary data collection methods in order to minimize the likelihood of failing to mention foods or underestimating portion sizes.

Contribution of dieting to the inverse association between energy intake and body mass index
Article Abstract:
A survey of women of 19-50 years of age reveals intermittent energy restriction as an important factor in reduced energy intake among overweight women. Self-reported dietary intake data based on dietary recalls from nonconsecutive days show a correlation of energy and percentage energy from fat with body mass index. Under-reporting of energy intake and other limitations necessitates a more adequate energy expenditure assessment such as by doubly-labelled water or by chamber calorimetry.

Body mass index, body composition and the chronic energy deficiency classification of rural adult populations in Guatemala
Article Abstract:
A study was done to determine whether the use of Durnin-Womersley equations in obtaining individualbody composition estimates have low validity in certain populations. The relationship between body mass index, body composition estimates and fat-free mass were also examined. It was shown that the Quatelet body mass index cannot explain the high proportion of the variation in body fat and fat-free masses estimated by direct body densitometry.
