Hi all. I am a nutrition student.

I have calculated the misreporting dietary data based on the Goldberg equation. Unfortunately, I have a big proportion of misreporting dietary data for my research (27%). I hope I can keep my data without excluding any data from my analysis.

Hence, I would like to ask if there is any threshold for an acceptable percentage for misreporting dietary data? For example, we don't need to remove the diet data if the misreporting dietary data percentage is less than 20%, 30% or etc? I tried to search it from published articles and books but I couldn't find it.

Thank you and your feedback are highly appreciated.
