Is dietary underreporting macronutrient specific?

Article Abstract:

A prominent Australian nutritionist clarifies that an increase in the reported carbohydrate intake in obese Swedish women caused the bias between the weighed and the food frequency records of these Swedish subjects. The bias toward underreporting of energy intake in the weighed records was influenced by body mass index of the subjects, elucidating that methods of reporting dietary underreporting are precise solely for the surveyed populace.
