Food Photography Is Not an Accurate Measure of Energy Intake in Obese, Pregnant Women

ConclusionsEnergy intake in obese, pregnant women obtained with the use of an electronic reporting method (SmartIntake) does not accurately estimate energy intake compared with doubly labeled water. However, accuracy improves by applying criteria to eliminate erroneous data. Further evaluation of electronic reporting in this population is needed to improve compliance, specifically for reporting frequent intake of small meals. This trial was registered atwww.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01954342.
