Abstract

We describe a new measure of dietary intake in cystic fibrosis (CF): the CF Individualized NuTritional Assessment of Kids Eating (CF INTAKE). Ninety-one children (49 boys, M = 4.5 ± 3.2 years) participated. Four scores measured Missed Opportunities to maximize calorie intake: Meal, Enzyme, Calorie, and Food Choice Scores. Power Scores measured high-fat food/addables intake. Recommended meals were omitted 10% and enzymes were omitted 15% of the time. More than half of all foods consumed were low-fat foods. Calorie intake was maximized in only one third of foods eaten. The CF INTAKE can identify specific areas to target through individualized nutritional counseling.
