The paper examines the measurements of food intake used to calculate individual energy balance. Nutritional requirements are considered for maintaining a healthy equilibrium between energy intake and energy expenditure. A study is conducted among University students to test two methods of recording food intake, i.e. a 24-hour weighed food intake method and 24-hour food recall method. Conclusions are made about the efficacy of the methods.
