This paper shows how the concept of nutrient ratios can be expanded to macronutrients to reflect that dietary constituents such as proteins, carbohydrates, and saturated fats are not consumed in isolation but in combination; and that assessing diet quality requires understanding the complexity of the diet in its entirety.
Intake’s online resource library has been developed to provide easy access to grey literature and links to peer reviewed journal articles that are relevant to the collection, analysis, and use of dietary data in low- and middle-income countries. The library includes Intake technical reports and briefs, guidance documents, survey planning tools, and videos, as well as access to a curated set of publications and tools authored by others. Users should note that Intake's online resource library is still under development. Once completed, the resource library will be updated periodically.
