The Freiburg dietary protocol developed at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen is a simple method for prospective consumption logging in paper form. However, this Freiburg dietary protocol is only partially applicable to Austria because the predefined food selection is based on German eating habits and does not reflect current trends in the food supply. The most frequently consumed foods in Austria are identified using data on chronic food consumption from the EFSA Comprehensive Database. The validation is carried out using a cross-over study design over four survey days against a weighing protocol as a reference method.

 

Project Goals

  • Development of a prospective dietary assessment protocol for Austria, based on the methodology of the Freiburg Dietary Assessment Protocol
  • Simplified design of the Vienna Dietary Assessment Protocol so that it can be completed without an interview or instruction from a nutrition professional
  • Food selection based on current trends and dietary habits in Austria
