non sottoposti a regime dietetico controllato
Explanation:
In questo contesto si potrebbe tradurre così
Measuring usual dietary intake in free-living human subjects,
besides being difficult to accomplish with precision,
can in some instances represent a contradiction of terms.
For instance, in quasi-experimental studies that provide
controlled diets to subjects living, but not eating, in their
natural environments, the generalizability of any findings to
the subjects’ own diets may be limited. Another problem
with this type of study is that strict compliance to
experimental regimens often poses a major problem, e.g.
when subjects are living in their usual environments and
have access to other foods. Finally, in the special case of
ad libitum intake studies, while food intake can be
measured easily and precisely in controlled situations,
the quantity and quality of the food selected is likely
to be altered as a consequence of the controlled condition
itself

in condizioni di vita normale


Explanation:
In effetti si trova principalmente in studi clinici relativi alla nutrizione e a patologie a carico del metabolismo. Ho trovato spesso testi italiani che lasciano invariato il termine in inglese "free-living", quindi volendo potresti farlo anche tu, es:

ma "in condizioni di vita normale" è altrettanto esatto.

Voraci (o un sinonimo), vedi spiegazione


Explanation:
Definizione del Merriam-Webster:
Function: adjective
Date: 1818
1: marked by more than usual freedom in the gratification of appetites
2 a: not fixed to the substrate but capable of motility <a free–living protozoan> b: being metabolically independent : neither parasitic nor symbiotic <a free–living adult hairworm>
Allora: seguendo la PRIMA definizione: non potrebbe indicare invece che sono "esagerati", in questo caso in senso di cibo? Da qui l'idea di ingordi, mangioni, ghiotti, voraci, famelici, golosi... non saprei quale preferisci, però come senso mi sembra adatto al contesto. Cristina
