Comparing a 7-day diary vs. 24 h-recall for estimating fluid consumption in overweight and obese Mexican women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) is linked to increased weight, energy intake, and diabetes. Even though the increasing interest on beverages and water intake, there are few dietary tools carefully validated. The purpose of this paper is to compare a fluid intake 7-day diary against a 24-h recall questionnaire to estimate the fluid consumption in overweight and obese women participating in a randomized controlled trial in Mexico.

Methods
