The relative validity of a food record using the smartphone application MyFitnessPal
ConclusionsMFP tends to underestimate ingestion of nutrients probably due to inadequacies in the MFP database. However, MFP showed good relative validity, especially for energy and fibre. Its use, as well as other similar applications, should be encouraged, due to ease of assessing dietary information, although careful usage is recommended because of database gaps.

Nutritional screening and dietitian consultation rates in a geriatric evaluation and management unit
ConclusionsThe full benefits of nutritional screening by MNA‐SF may not be realised if it does not result in malnourished patients receiving a dietitian consultation. However, it is possible that enrichment of the foodservice with high protein/high‐energy options minimised patient weight loss in the GEMU. (Source: Nutrition and Dietetics)
