The food intake module in the dbNP. Detailed information of food consumption is captured (6) and stored (7) in the clean data database. Foods are analysed (8), and food composition data are stored (9) in the clean data database. Both types of data are analysed (5) and converted into nutrient intake. When no specific food analyses are carried out, food composition data from external food databases are used. The food metabolome is analysed in biofluid samples (2) and the corresponding data stored in the clean data database (3). Statistical and bioinformatic analyses of the food metabolome data are used to assess food intake or compliance to the dietary intervention (5). Other numbers as in Fig. 5
