Relationship between feeding pattern and body mass index in 220 free-living people in four age groups
Article Abstract:
The relationship between feeding patterns and body mass index (BMI) is stronger in the elderly and working age groups as compared to adolescents and middle-age groups. Greater energy consumption at breakfast is associated with a lower BMI for adolescents and middle aged people, which may be attributed to under-recording of habitual energy consumption by the obese and females. BMI is significantly related to the reported energy intake only in the working class group. Gorging of food is commonly reported by all age groups except the working class, indicating under-reporting of habitual nibbling behavior.

High and low fat consumers, their macronutrient intake and body mass index: further analysis of the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of British Adults
Article Abstract:
The defining criteria of percentage energy from fat (FAT%) and absolute amount of fat consumed (FATg) affects the differences in body mass index (BMI) and macronutrient intake of high and low fat consumers. According to the FAT%, high fat and low carbohydrate intake is seen for the high fat group but the total energy intake is the same for the two groups. Using the FATg, the high fat group shows a higher nutrient and energy intake. The high fat group has a higher and wide range of BMI, especially when defined by the FATg criteria. Age differences are also observed in high and low BMI group.

Dietary under-reporting: what people say about recording their food intake
Article Abstract:
An investigation was carried out to determine the reasons behind under-reporting, one of the main problems in self-documentation and monitoring of food intake. The study revealed that the two main causes for under-reporting are embarrassment or guilt (E) and inconvenience (I). This problem can nevertheless be alleviated with the use of formulations based on biological processes such as the ratio of EI to basal metabolic rate (EI:BMR) which can be used to countercheck the accuracy of self-reporting.
