Food diaries are commonly used to assess individual dietary intake in both the general and sporting populations.

Additional information on portion size, forgotten foods, leftovers, and brand names can be obtained by using this novel sensing technology in conjunction with the diary, with improved dietary assessment a potential outcome.
