How does Diet ID differ from other diet apps?

How the assessment differs

Traditionally, we measure and assess dietary intake by recording food intake, then analyzing the results. While straightforward, such methods (questionnaires, food photo journals, calorie counting, dietitian interviews), are tedious, time-consuming, and inaccurate. Diet ID is a whole new way to assess diet. Rather than track every item eaten, Diet ID prompts the user to view a series of food images, each representing unique diet patterns. After choosing the best match, users then indicate diet preferences and enter biometric data. Within a minute, your population will receive their own assessment results indicating type and quality level. That information tells us a lot about nutrition -- not just calories and macro and micronutrients, but where we are with diet quality and disease risk, and where we need to go to optimize health.

Most providers historically have used a 24-hour recall to conduct a dietary analysis. Here is the high level difference between the two dietary assessment methods.
