Single value consumptions data formats
Single value consumptions data provides a single per-individual-day and per-food consumption amount for a population. Also the bodyweight should be specified, and optionally also age, sex, and other properties may be recorded. The consumption amounts are usually expressed in grams, but may also be expressed in alternative units of plates, cups, or spoons. Optionally, the uncertainty of food consumption quantifications can be specified, see Souverein et al. (2011).
Single value consumptions are described using one table: PopulationConsumptionSingleValues.
