Özet
This study aims to compare the food information programs used in Türkiye, CeviCal and BeBİS, and evaluate how they differ from TürKomp. Data on food consumption records, consumption frequency, and anthropometric measurements of healthy individuals obtained from previous studies were entered into the CeviCal, BeBİS and TürKomp programs. Energy and nutritional values were analyzed to compare these two programs using TürKomp as the reference standard. According to the food consumption record data entered, there was no significant difference in carbohydrate and fat percentages among the three programs (p>0.05), while significant differences were found in other nutrients (p<0.05). No difference was found between TürKomp and CeviCal in the values of macronutrients, such as energy, carbohydrate, protein and fat (p>0.05). A significant and high-level positive correlation was found between TürKomp and both CeviCal and BeBİS in energy, protein and carbohydrate values. According to food consumption frequency data, there was no significant difference in energy, protein and fat percentage between TürKomp and CeviCal (p>0.05), while a significant difference was found with BeBİS (p<0.05). A high level of positive correlation was found between TürKomp and CeviCal in terms of energy, protein, carbohydrate and fat values. However, a moderate level of positive correlation was found between TürKomp and BeBIS. When BeBİS and CeviCal programs used in Türkiye were compared to TürKomp, CeviCal gave more consistent results in carbohydrate, protein and fat values. There were similarities and differences between the three programs in terms of other nutrients. However, larger studies comparing data from all programs are needed to support the current findings.
