Consumptions by food-as-measured calculation

Consumptions by food as measured are calculated from consumptions of foods-as-measured and food conversions that link the foods-as-eaten amounts to foods-as-measured amounts. Given that the food conversion is already available, the procedure for computing the consumptions by food-as-measured is straightforward. For each consumption of each individual, a food-as-measured consumption record is created for each food-as-measured that is linked to the consumed foods through the food conversion, with the amount being the total consumption amount multiplied by the proportion indicated by the food conversion. Also, if the food conversion includes one or more processing steps, then these are recorded in the consumption per food as measured record.
