Energy (Kilocalorie or kcal) Intake Primary · Mean daily energy intake averaged across 3 day free-living period of each PortionSize app and MyFitnessPal app intervention.

The primary analyses assessing equivalence between PortionSize™ and the criterion measure (and MyFitnessPal and the criterion measures) will rely on equivalence testing using the Two One-side T-test (TOST) method. The null hypothesis of an equivalence tests is that the means are nonequivalent, i.e., the confidence interval of the mean of the test condition exceeds the pre-specified error bound. The alternative hypothesis is that the means are equivalent, and the mean difference between the experimental method and gold standard is hypothesized to be zero. Differences in error from PortionSize™

Sponsor's own description

The objective is to test the accuracy of the PortionSize™ app and the MyFitnessPal© app at measuring energy and nutrient intake in free-living conditions. Participants will use PortionSize™ and MyFitnessPal apps in separate periods to test the accuracy of the respective apps.
