The Foodlmage (TM) smartphone app transmits users' photographs of food selection and food waste to researchers, and includes user-tagged information about waste reasons and destination. Twenty-four participants were trained to record food waste using Foodlmage, food waste diaries requiring visual estimation of waste quantities, and diaries requiring scale weights. Participants used each method during three staged food-waste scenarios (food preparation, eating, and clean-out) in a randomized crossover trial. Two participants had extreme values for the weighed diary method; therefore, accuracy results are reported with and without these two participants' data. Error was calculated as waste estimated with the experimental method minus directly weighed waste. Mean absolute error from Foodlmage was significantly smaller than or equal to the error from both diary methods in each scenario. Furthermore, the mean values from Foodlmage were equivalent to directly weighed values in two out of the three tasks; while weighed diaries were equivalent in two tasks only when the two participants with extreme values were removed. Visually estimated diaries were equivalent for only one task. All 24 participants preferred Foodlmage to diaries and all rated Foodlmage as less time consuming. Over one week, Foodlmage would require similar to 24 fewer minutes of users' time to record all data. Unlike food waste diaries, Foodlmage also transmits data to researchers in real-time and provides detailed data on food selection and intake.
