Adherence
Objective dietary assessment methods, such as biomarkers of food intake (BFIs) and image-based assessment, are superior to subjective methods (like 24-hour recalls) for monitoring dietary intake and improving adherence in obesity management.
To get the most out of your diet plan, use objective tools to track what you eat. Instead of relying on memory, which can be inaccurate, use apps that take photos of your meals or, if available, biomarker tests (like urine or blood tests) to verify your intake. This reduces guesswork and helps you stay on track with your personalized nutrition plan.
Biomarkers of food intake hold promise for a more objective dietary assessment... employing more objective methods for dietary assessment and monitoring can enhance sustained long-term compliance.
