They will be asked to keep a detailed record of everything they eat and drink for seven days, both at home and elsewhere, using specially-designed diaries. Trained interviewers will visit people in their homes to help them complete the diaries. The information obtained will allow intake of more than 50 nutrients to be calculated, including fat and fatty acids, sugar, fibre, vitamins and minerals.
