The Role of Various Forms of Training on Improved Accuracy of Food-Portion Estimation Skills: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT: This study describes the types of food-portion tools used and changes in accuracy for food-portion size estimation by adult populations after an intervention of food-portion education and training. This systematic review searched 7 scientific databases. Only internally comparable study designs were included. Studies were tabulated for nutrition- and non-nutrition-trained university students and the general population. Included studies were assessed for level of evidence and quality, including risk of bias. Thirteen studies were reviewed, with 8 targeting university students. Food type, length of training, number of tools, and the impact of repeated use on food-portion estimation were summarized. Estimation accuracy calculations across studies were not consistent, and training was found to
