The phrase "actual intake" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to consumption, such as food, drink, or data collection, where you want to specify the real or measured amount taken in.
Example: "The study measured the actual intake of calories among participants to assess their dietary habits."

Actual intake noise was then predicted using the simulation method.
Actual intake was noted in a Patient Data Management System (Metavision®, iMDsoft).
In practice, the actual intake is likely to be much lower than the calculated values.
Feed was completely consumed, so no uneaten feed needed to be recovered for actual intake utilization calculations.
Sorting was calculated as the actual intake of each fraction expressed as a percentage of the predicted intake.
Sorting activity for each fraction was calculated as actual intake expressed as a percentage of the predicted intake.
Due to several causes i.e. gastric retention and passage disorders, actual intake was 1480 ± 580 kcal and 77 ± 35 grams of protein, primarily via nasogastric tube feeding.
