Do you really remember what you ate? study tests food recall accuracy

This study looks at how well adults can remember and report what they ate the day before using a common method called the 24-hour dietary recall. Researchers served 75 participants a controlled meal with simple foods and mixed dishes, then compared their reported intake to what they actually ate. The goal is to find out which foods are most often misreported and whether factors like weight, gender, or race affect accuracy. Results may help improve how we measure diet in research.
