Development and validation of a photographic food atlas for portion size assessment in the southern plains of Nepal.

Objective: To develop and validate a photographic food atlas of common foods for dietary assessment in southern Nepal.

Design: We created a life-sized photographic atlas of forty locally prepared foods. Between March and June 2014, data collectors weighed portion sizes that respondents consumed during one mealtime and then a different data collector revisited the household the next day to record respondents' estimations of their previous day's intakes using the atlas.
