Eighty-three culturally relevant composite dishes were selected using national intake data, cultural significance, and accessibility. Exchange values were based on the nutrient adequacy ratio, with full and half exchanges defined as 10% and 5% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), respectively. A predefined \u00b130% relative tolerance, adapted from coefficient of variation-based criteria used in previous FEL development, was applied as an operational rather than empirically derived grouping criterion. It was used uniformly for classification consistency, although nutrient-specific validation remains necessary. Half-exchange ranges were 36 to 84\u2005mg for calcium, 0.2 to 0.5\u2005mg for iron, and 90 to 210\u2005mg for potassium; full-exchange ranges were 84 to 156\u2005mg, 0.5 to 1.04\u2005mg, and 210 to 390\u2005mg, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FEL-derived and food composition table estimates were significantly associated for all three micronutrients. In a simulated iron-rich pregnancy meal plan, the FEL provided 138% of the calcium RDA, 129% of the potassium RDA, and 81% of the pregnancy iron RDA. Differences between FEL and food composition table estimates ranged from 5% to 13%, supporting preliminary methodological performance. The FEL supports culturally tailored micronutrient planning in Qatar and the Gulf Cooperation Council, but adaptation to other settings requires local recipe standardization, nutrient recalculation, usability assessment, and external population-specific validation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02601060261492168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]],"date-time":"2026-10-12T14:30:19Z","timestamp":1791815419000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Development and preliminary methodological evaluation of a micronutrient food exchange framework for Qatari composite dishes"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1640-0511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reema","family":"Tayyem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Science, Qatar University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0790-0560","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Safa","family":"Abdul Majeed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Science, Qatar University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9996-1300","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maya","family":"Bassil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Science, Qatar University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0308-8146(94)90170-8"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","article-title":"An overview of food patterns and diet quality in Qatar: Findings from the national household income expenditure survey","volume":"9","author":"Al-Thani M","year":"2017","unstructured":"Al-Thani M, Al-Thani AA, Al-Mahdi N, et al.
