Types Of Data

[adidash]

What type of data would a 7 day food diary collect? i.e. Qual/Quant, binary/nominal etc.

I am writing a initial research proposal and need to explain how my data collected would be assessed.

Im quite sure this is qualitative, just want to make sure

thanks

why wouldn't it be quantitative too- number of calories, grams of fat,

Yes this is why i was unsure, as i wanted to do a quantitative disseratation not a mixed qual/quant.

the food diary will be getting inputted into dietary software program from which nutrtional values will be calculated and compared to norms. So i guess the data would be both qual and quant and the outcome data would be quant.
