About myfood24
myfood24 is a quick and easy to use nutritional analysis software for use in research, teaching and healthcare settings.
myfood24 has been validated against a suite of independent nutrient reference measures, including urinary and plasma biomarkers as well as interview-led dietary recalls.
Biomarkers are the ‘gold standard’ reference measure and are more accurate than interview-led recalls, which are used for relative validity by other dietary assessment tools.
Our biomarker validation study found that myfood24 provides more efficient dietary assessments in comparison to interview-led recalls.
Developed to reflect the wide range of food products available in UK supermarkets, the myfood24 dataset contains a wide range of branded and generic items, none of which have been crowd-sourced - this makes sure the data is reliable.
myfood24 holds extensive macro- and micro-nutrient information on both branded and generic items due to the comprehensive and novel mapping process. No other tool has a database like this!

myfood24 has been developed by researchers and tested with different age groups including: adolescents, adults and older adults to ensure its simplicity. Other solutions often have only been designed for use in small subsets of the population for limited age ranges.
Usability of myfood24 has been tested using a reliable and validated System Usability Scale (SUS) and received a score deemed to be 'good'.
myfood24 can also be used on behalf of another person, for example, a parent on behalf of a younger child, making it a flexible tool for all.
myfood24 has made it possible for us to collect 24 h recalls on our participants in a user-friendly way and at the same time the program has provided us with the quality dietary data we need for our research.
