Increasing an individual's awareness and understanding of their dietary habits and reasons for eating may help facilitate positive dietary changes. Mobile technologies allow individuals to record diet-related behavior in real time from any location; however, the most popular software applications lack empirical evidence supporting their efficacy as health promotion tools.

Abstract:
Recent advancements in technology in dietary assessment, specifically use of mobile phone and digital imaging of food, are promising areas in dietetics research and practice. Research continues to focus on refining and creating new assessment methods to evaluate food intake with higher degrees of accuracy. The purpose of this article is to introduce available dietary assessment tools for an individual's diet recording that could be considered for use in research and medical nutrition therapy using mobile technology. Challenges and opportunities for use in clinical studies and future directions of dietary assessment tools in practice are discussed.

It is well established that children are exposed to food marketing promoting calorically dense, low-nutrient products. Reducing exposure to obesogenic marketing presents an opportunity to improve children's health. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which televised food advertising practices targeting children (aged ≤12 years) were consistent with guidelines proposed by a coalition of federal authorities known as the Interagency Working Group on Foods Marketed to Children (IWG).
