Please note: 1. If your respondent has consumed and entered dietary supplement consumption into ASA24, then the

_TNS file gives you the day’s nutrient totals that include both the food and dietary supplements. USE

this file instead of __TNMYPHEI if your respondent has consumed dietary supplements. However, it

does not contain food group information.

2. You still have to use the __TNMYPHEI for the day’s food group totals.
