Need for development of dietary assessment device for free living environment-a survey

TLDR
Various method involving energy intake and energy expenditure and need for accurate long term dietary assessment technique for free living individuals are discussed and analysed.
Abstract
Currently more than 1 billion adults are overweight -and at least 300 million of them are clinically obese. Article from World Health Organisation mentioned that obese is the major cause for Diabetics, cardio vascular problem and cancer.
