One of the most fundamental, but also controversial, food trends of the past years is convenience food. This article investigates the underexplored relationship between the heterogeneity in (convenience) food consumption (a feature of a food culture's cuisine) and meal patterns (characteristics of a food culture's structure). This study hopes to illustrate that convenience food can be interpreted both as a means to maintain a food culture's structure and as a means to overturn it. Latent Class Cluster Analysis is performed using data from the HBS 2005 survey on families' food expenditures to conceptualize convenience-orientation and to examine the relationships with families' meal behaviors. Whereas outsourcing cooking is most prevalent among single-person households; two-or more-person households are most likely to buy unprocessed and natural foods and to spend most time cooking and eating in. A higher consumption of convenience food is also more likely to affect individuals' kitchen than table habits.

This technical report describes the process of data gathering, coding, cleaning and valorisation of TOR13, an online time-use survey conducted by the Research Group TOR in 2013. TOR13 is based on a seven-day diary registration method with a pre- and a postquestionnaire. The fieldwork of TOR13 started in January 2013 and ended in February 2014. Unlike TOR99 and TOR04, TOR13 made no use of paper and pencil diaries; the whole diary registration happened through a flexible online platform. This report will guide the reader through the whole procedure of data collection. First of all, we introduce the research instruments. Hereafter we will go deeper in the sample design and the fieldwork, which will be followed by further elaboration on response rates, the data cleaning and the weighing of the dataset. The report ends with a detailed description of the final database. Besides technical specifications this report will also explain the online tool to gather time-use data and compare the data of TOR13 with earliertime-use data collected by the Research Group TOR and with time-use data collected by Statistics Belgium.
