Abstract
Misreporting, recalling and overestimation are common problems with dietary assessment methods currently available. The 7-day weighed food record (7DWR) method involves an individual weighing of each and every food item prior to consumption, and is considered as a reference method in many situations. The present study aims to compare the energy and nutrient intakes, estimated from 7DWR and 24-hour dietary recall (24DR), among a group of adults.

Misreporting, recalling and overestimation are common problems with dietary assessment methods currently available
Several participants reported difficulties in using the 7-day weighed food record (7DWR) method and some reported an alteration in their diet pattern when this method was used
Results obtained from 24-hour dietary recall (24DR) method under-estimated the nutrient intakes as compared to the 7DWFR method
Summary
Misreporting, recalling and overestimation are common problems with dietary assessment methods currently available. The present study aims to compare the energy and nutrient intakes, estimated from 7DWR and 24-hour dietary recall (24DR), among a group of adults. Assessment of dietary intake among different populations is essential to monitor ongoing nutritional transition, and for development of appropriate interventions. Single or multiple 24-hour dietary recalls (24DR) are widely used for national level nutritional surveys [2, 3]. Information of energy and nutrient intake in a population is essential for development of public health policies and guidelines. The 24DR method has been used to assess the energy and nutrient intake among Sri Lankan adults in a national
