Counting Bites With Bits: Expert Workshop Addressing Calorie and Macronutrient Intake Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Conventional diet assessment approaches such as the 24-hour self-reported recall are burdensome, suffer from recall bias, and are inaccurate in estimating energy intake. Wearable sensor technology, coupled with advanced algorithms, is increasingly showing promise in its ability to capture behaviors that provide useful information for estimating calorie and macronutrient intake. OBJECTIVE:This paper aimed to summarize current technological approaches to monitoring energy intake on the basis of expert opinion from a workshop panel and to make recommendations to advance technology and algorithms to improve estimation of energy expenditure. METHODS:A 1-day invitational workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation was held at Northwestern University. A total of 30 participan
