How are portion sizes represented?
The Food Model Booklet (FMB) is an updated version of ACCV’s 1994 Health 2000 Food Model Booklet that we’ve used in our recent Dietary Calibration Study (DCS). As it proved extremely effective in the DCS we have decided to also make it available for other studies. Selection of the number of images/drawings were based on our 2 main criteria: • to develop a visual reference guide to complement both our dietary questionnaire and the 24-hr recall program by FoodWorks and • to provide enough portion size references while still being easy to access by participants (i.e. user friendly).
