Currently, in Spain there are no studies that examine the amounts and sources of plate waste (PW) produced by both household and out-of-home consumption.

A total of 2009 individuals aged 9-75 years, from the ANIBES study ("anthropometric data, macronutrients and micronutrients intake, practice of physical activity, socioeconomic data and lifestyles in Spain"), completed a three-day dietary record, collected by a tablet device.
