The personalised report compares your patients' usual dietary intake to Australian dietary recommendations, which are based on the best available scientific evidence for nutrition and health. The report provides information on your patient's diet quality, energy intake, proportion of healthy core foods and unhealthy discretionary foods. The report also details macronutrient and micronutrient intakes.

The Australian Eating Survey will help to simplify your day-to-day tasks and increase workflow efficiency. You can ask your patients to fill in prior to appointment to enable more time to discuss and implement strategies to improve overall diet and health.

The Australian Eating Survey has undergone extensive reliability and validity testing and is based on over 15 years of research. You will be able to set up all participants into groups (i.e., intervention vs control) and projects. As a researcher you can control whether or not an automated email with a link to the report is sent to your participants immediately after the report has been generated. This is particularly useful if you do not wish to provide the feedback report to the control group.

The AES is based on up-to-date evidence based data and has been endorsed by the Dietitians Association of Australia (DAA). You can choose the most recent food composition database (AUSNUT 2011-2013) or the older version (AUSNUT 1999) and you have the option to choose between two surveys that comprise the AES:

1. The Australian Child and Adolescent Eating Survey is used to measure the dietary intakes of children and adolescents aged 2-17 years.
2. The Australian Eating Survey for adults for individuals aged 18 years and over.

All data can be exported into CSV file format which makes it easily to format into your chosen statistical package.

The AES takes around 15-20 mins to complete. Immediately after finishing you will received a personalised feedback report of your overall dietary intake.

The report provides information on:

• Your overall diet quality
• Your proportion of healthy foods vs unhealthy foods.
• Your intake of carbohydrate, protein, fat and alcohol
• Your intake of vitamins, minerals and fibre from foods consumed.

Each time you complete the AES survey you can save your report in your own personal dashboard to track progress over time.

Our starter package provides access to the Australian Eating Survey, which provides a personalised feedback report of overall dietary intake to all participants within your workplace.

For individual, tailored advice, we also provide one on one or group consults with an Accredited Practising Dietitian.
