Don’t trust any recall study imo. I remember the stories where I used to work from a study on soy supplementation done on obese post-menopausal women. They would insist that all they ate that day was something like a half cup of green beans. The human mind is far too fallible and prone to deception for any meaningful thing to be gained from food memory.
I really only trust studies now where they supplement in a controlled environment and monitor all food intake. Not surprisingly these studies often show no benefit of the supplementation.

As anyone who has ever had a morning surgery or even been friends or pet owner with someone who has had one, your body doesn't know 'yesterday', it only knows '12 hours ago'.
