Dietary diversity is defined and measured through the consumption and counting of various food groups, as evidenced by the metrics described in [1], [2], and [3]. Methodological approaches to assessing dietary diversity often rely on these food groups, though as noted in [4] and [5], the specific reliance on these counts can lead to inconsistencies in measurement.
