The results showed that the MyFood app tended to underestimate the participants' dietary intake compared with the 24-hour recalls at both the individual and group levels. The app's ability to estimate intake within food groups was greater for eggs, yogurt, and self-composed dinner than for spreads, mixed meals, vegetables, and snacks. The app was well accepted among the study participants and may be a useful tool among free-living older adults, given that the users are provided follow-up and support in how to record their dietary intake.
