Thank God we pray to the presence of God Almighty because with His grace we can
complete a paper on "Methods of Food Weighing (Weighing Food)" well despite the many
flaws in it. We thank the Parents who continually support in the execution of this paper. We
also wish to thank Mr. Komang Agusjaya Dr.Ir.I Mataram, Kes as Lecturer subjects Food
Consumption Survey of Health Polytechnic Denpasar that has given this task to us.
We very much hope this paper can be useful in order to add insight and knowledge on
"Methods of Food Weighing (Weighing Food)". We are also fully aware that in this paper,
there are many flaws and is far from perfect. Therefore, we hope that their criticisms,
suggestions, and proposals for the improvement of paper that we have made in the future,
remember nothing is perfect without constructive suggestions.
Hopefully this simple paper incomprehensible to anyone who reads it. Had this paper

PRELIMINARY
A. Background
Nutritional Sciences (Nutrient Science) is the science that studies everything about
the food in conjunction with optimal health (Almatsier, S, 2003). On one side of the science
of nutrition related to food and on the other hand with regard to the human body. In terms
of nutritional science is nutritional status. Nutritional status is a state body as a result of
food consumption and utilization of nutrients (Almatsier, S, 2003).
Nutritional status assessment methods, there are two that are directly and indirectly.
Assessment of nutritional status can directly be done by means of anthropometry, clinical,
biochemical and biophysical. Meanwhile, assessment of nutritional status can be queried
indirectly by way of food consumption surveys, vital statistics, and ecological factors. Food
consumption survey is one method of measurement of nutritional status in an indirect way.
Less food intake will lead to malnutrition, whereas the intake of food that more will result
in better nutritional status. The general objective measurement of food consumption is to
know nutrition and food as well as eating habits and patterns, both at the individual,
household, and community groups.
Measuring food consumption can be made in three areas namely measuring food
consumption in an area, measuring food intake at the household level, and measure nutrient
intake at the individual level. A common method used to measure the availability of food
in a region is the balance of foodstuffs and food patterns hope. The general method used to
measure food consumption at the household level is the method the amount of food (food
accounts), recording food household (household food record method), and recall 24-hour
housekeeping. Food intake measurement method that is often used for individuals is 24-
hour recall method, estimated food record, weighing food (food weighing), dietary history,
and a food frequency (food frequency).
One area measuring food consumption which measures nutrient intake at the
individual level. Measuring food consumption at the individual level is a way of assessing
the consumption of foods that can determine their eating habits and nutrient intake in
individuals. Based on the type of data collected, the measurement of food intake in
individuals classified into two groups: the first group is a method that can yield quantitative
data and the second group is a method that can produce qualitative data.
One of the groups that generate quantitative data on food consumption levels of
individual measurements using the method of weighing the food (food weighing). To find
4
out how the method of weighing food (food weighing), the author tries to make a paper
about the "method of weighing food (food weighing)" in order to find an explanation of the
method of weighing food (food weighing).
C. Writing purpose
The purpose of this paper is as follows:
1. Can find out about the understanding of the method of weighing food (food
weighing).
2. Can find out about the purpose of the method of weighing food (food weighing).
3. Can find out about the steps of the method of weighing food (food weighing).
4. Can know about surveys where the method of weighing food (food weighing).
5. Can know the tools that are required in the method of weighing food (food
weighing).
6. Can determine from the data collection forms the weighing method of food (food
weighing).
7. Can find out about the advantages and disadvantages of the method of weighing
food (food weighing).

4. Require a level of cooperation that is higher than the approximate methods of food
(estimated food record) and more likely to have a greater impact on eating habits
compared to estimates of food.
5. Cost scales are very expensive in some cases.
6. This level of accuracy is higher than the record forecast for the size of the portion
of food is weighed by reducing the contribution to diversity and measurement
error.

4. Once all the data is collected (according to several days weighing) the calculation
of energy consumption of both food and other nutrients. Calculations can be done
manually by using a list of food composition (DKBM) or using software that has

nutritional adequacy rate.

CHAPTER III
CLOSING
A. Conclusion
Method of weighing food (Food Weighing) is one of the methods of a quantitative
consumer survey that basically respondents or officer asked to weigh and record the foods
and beverages consumed during the day, including how to cook, food brands, and
composition (if possible). The goal of this method is to measure the actual intake of food
and nutrients of the respondents, as the basis for nutritional counseling and determine the
gold standard for a person.
The steps performed in the method of weighing foodie preliminary visit, then
respondents weigh and record the foods and drinks are eaten during the day, after the
calculation of both energy and food consumption of other nutrients and analysis by
comparing the nutritional adequacy rate. A good time to survey the food weighing method
is for 7 days. There are some tools that are needed to conduct the survey by weighing the
food that scale, weighing form, special books, household size, the composition of foods
list, calculator, software, survey guidelines and stationery.
The method of weighing food discount some advantages and disadvantages. One of
the advantages is the method of weighing the food is made consumption survey of the most
accurate, because it measures the actual intake, while one of the drawbacks is the
respondents were reluctant to weigh the food eaten outside the home.
B. Suggestion
Food weighing method is one method of food consumption survey of the most
accurate individual level because it measures the actual intake. Therefore, the officer who
made the task of weighing the food of the respondents must be done properly and carefully
and respondents or communities also must have the awareness to want to do the weighing
of food when carried food consumption survey by the clerk, because it is useful for
improving public health, especially in the field of nutrient consumption.
