Hello everyone,
My name is Amy Deptford and I am a nutritionist working for Save the Children, based in London. We are in the process of redesigning the software for one of our bespoke tools: the Cost of
the Diet. The Cost of the Diet is a method developed by SC UK to calculate the minimum amount of money a typical household would need to purchase their recommended intakes of energy, protein, fat and micronutrients, using locally available foods.
We are trying to improve and update the underlying parameters of the software, one of which are children’s (12-23 month old) recommended or actual portion sizes for food. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to find much published data especially
in developing countries. I was wondering if any of you know of any such data that you could direct me to. Failing that, do you know of any academics, universities or other institutions who are doing this research and maybe able to help me? Any information
you could provide would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Amy Deptford
