There was no significant difference in energy intake between values obtained by COCO and 24-hour recall for days when both methods were used (mean 2092, SD 1044 kcal versus mean 2030, SD 687 kcal, P=.70).
COCO Nutritionist may be a viable alternative to traditional dietary recall methods for assessing energy intake.
