Purpose. To develop and pilot test an easy-to-use procedure for food grouping dietary recalls and to determine average vegetable serving amounts. Background. The rate of obesity has climbed to epidemic proportions with women of child-bearing age accumulating most of their obesity related weight gain during pregnancy. Dietary interventions focused on increasing the consumption of nutrient-dense vegetables can help postpartum women learn healthy eating practices while losing excess weight. Database Development. This system was developed to correlate study outcomes with the study database by using the pre-determined food grouping ability of NDSR with a procedure to determine average serving amounts of target vegetables. Results. Pilot testing of the database and system showed that accurate serving amounts of the target vegetables were determined by following the developed procedure. Quality assurance review of the database procedure and pilot test reinforced the system's efficiency and accuracy with determining average serving amounts of the target vegetables.
