Abstract
The accurate measurement of dietary intake in athletes is important to ensure that sports nutrition interventions are evidence-based and have direct relevance to athletes and sporting programs. However, measuring dietary intake in athlete populations, who often have unique requirements and challenges in comparison to non-athletes, poses a range of analytical and methodological challenges for practitioners. Despite clear implications for athlete health and performance, there is a paucity of research in the area. Therefore, the methodological considerations, unique (and shared) challenges with non-athlete populations, current evidence and recommended future directions for effectively measuring dietary intake in athletes will be discussed.

| Other | The 9th International Conference on Diet and Activity Methods (ICDAM 2015) is dedicated to improving methods and measures for nutrition, diet and physical activity. Improved methods are critical to monitoring changing physical activity patterns and food consumption, enhancing our understanding of relationships to health, assessing household food insecurity and hunger, monitoring health objectives and measuring energy balance. Topics include: - Combining Theory and Practice - Assessing Diets to Improve World Health - Promoting the Appropriate use of Dietary Assessment Tools for All - Advances in Dietary, Biochemical and Statistical Approaches - Complementary Advances in Diet and Physical Activity Assessment Methodologies - Expanding the Horizon, Dietary Assessment in a Multi-cultural World - Methodological Challenges for Measuring the Achievements of International Policies - Diet and Physical Activity Assessment: From the Individual to the Environment |
