Question
“Several versions of the FFQ exist, but they all use a similar technique: Ask people how often they eat particular foods and what serving size they usually consume. But it’s not always easy to remember everything you ate, even what you ate yesterday. People are prone to underreport what they consume, and they may not fess up to eating certain foods or may miscalculate their serving sizes.”
“When I tried keeping a seven-day food diary, I discovered … it’s surprisingly difficult to capture a record that reflects normal eating patterns when you collect only a few days’ worth of data. It so happened that I was traveling to a conference during my diary week, so I ate packaged snacks and restaurant meals far different from the foods I usually eat from my garden at home. My diary showed that before dinner one day, I’d eaten only a doughnut and two snack packs of potato chips. And what did I have for dinner? I can tell you that it was a delicious Indonesian seafood curry, but I couldn’t possibly begin to list all its ingredients.”

Explanation / Answer
1) lie : the reason why I chose "lie" because at times it is hard to remeber things becuase we might have been very much interested in doing particular things when we are eating, for instance when you eat your food while using your mobile phone your concentration towards mobile increases and towards food it is decreased. So you cognition plays an important role. similarly if ask to remmber the food items that you had with your friends gathering there you might have a good time tasting new food so you could remember easily even if you feel hard to remember if you give a deep thinking then you could come up with answer, so it is not always we could not able to remember everything you ate.
2) no access: they sometimes forget to know what they have ate because of putting their cognitive attention on some other things rather than on food.
3) lie: people now a days are concerned about their calorie intake, so they order what they want by calculating the calories in food. therefore it a lie that they may not fess up to eating certain food.
4) lie: since they are concerned about the calories they ask for particular serving size. So it is lie they miscalculate their serving size.
5) No access: the reason could be that when we taste a delicious food we are more impressed towards it, so we taste the food by enjoying it rather than thinking about what ingredients they have added to it. Sometime we try to know the ingredients added because we might wish to do the dish by ourself in home , so at that time the probability of knowing the ingredients increases.
