INTRODUCTION
Diet survey is usually done
by following methods-
i. Weighment method:
a) Raw food
b) Cooked food
ii. Oral questionnaire method:
a) Last 24 hours recall
method
b) One week recall method
iii. Stock inventory method
The 24 hour recall/oral questionnaire method
has certain fallacies –
-There can be a fast observed in the previous

not be accurate.
-There may be day to day variation in the food
consumption.
-Some members of the family may be

DIETARY SURVEY(contd.)
The total calorie intake is calculated
by adding up the calories present in
the foods as shown in the previous
slide-
= 8173.40 Kcal
The total protein intake is calculated
similarly
= 347.98 grams
CONSUMPTION UNIT
The energy required by an adult male
doing sedentary work is taken as 1CU
and coefficients for other individuals is
worked on the basis of calorie
requirement relative to that of
sedentary man.
[1CU= 2320 Kcal]
CONSUMPTION UNIT

Adult male (Sedentary worker) 1.0
Adult male (Moderate worker) 1.2
Adult male (Heavy worker) 1.6

Total consumption unit of the family is 4
CU
Since 1 consumption unit(CU)= 2320 Kcal
So, required calorie intake of the family is
= 4 x 2320 Kcal
= 9280 Kcal
Calculated calorie intake is 8173.40 Kcal
So, calorie deficit= 1106.60 Kcal or
11.92%
CALORIE PLUS PROTEIN
DEFICIT OR SURPLUS
Total protein requirement of the family
is …. grams
Calculated protein intake= 347.98
