Figure 1. Nutrient intake distributions.

Figure 1

A simple estimate of usual intake is to calculate mean intake over the available two days. However, this measure still includes appreciable random error, resulting in a too broad distribution: Both the low-end tail and the high-end tail of the “Mean for two days” distribution over-estimate the frequency of true low and high intakes.
