Consumptions by food-as-measured calculation

Consumptions by food as measured are calculated from consumptions of modelled foods 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 in the food conversion algorithm one or more processing types are found, then these types are recorded in the consumption per food as measured record.
