ENERGY AND NUTRIENTS

Energy and nutrient intakes in this publication are derived only from foods and beverages from the first 24-hour recall day. The nutrients from supplements are excluded from this analysis. No adjustment has been made to include information from the second 24-hour recall day to calculate usual intakes which was only collected from non-remote respondents. Second day 24-hour recall data is available by request or via microdata products to be released by late 2015.

Care should be taken when interpreting energy and nutrient intakes in this publication. Analysis of the 2012-13 NATSINPAS suggests that, like in other nutrition surveys, there has been some under-reporting of food intake by participants in this survey. Given the association of under-reporting with overweight/obesity and consciousness of socially acceptable/desirable dietary patterns, under-reporting is unlikely to affect all foods and nutrients equally. For more information on under-reporting in this survey, see the Under-reporting section of this publication and the Users’ Guide.
