Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will be asked to complete a 72 hour weighed food diary. Participants will weigh all their food consumed and record this in the free app "easy diet diary" over a 72 hour period.

During the final 24 hours of the weighed food diary, participants will be asked to complete a 24-hour urine and stool collection. These will be stored in a portable refrigerator provided by the study team.

On the morning of day 4, Participants will then attend a single appointment with a researcher lasting approximately 1 hour to complete indirect calorimetry (2x 10 minute measures) and body composition assessment including SGA. Participants will return stool and urine samples at this time.

Statistical methods / analysis
Power calculations have been completed and a sample size of 31 healthy controls and 62 patients with UC are required.

Descriptive statistics will be presented for characteristics of studied individuals.
Mean and standard deviation will be presented for normally distributed continuous variables, and median and interquartile ranges for skewed continuous variables.
