Ah yes, the food diary! Many of us have been asked to keep one but most of us are reluctent to do so – or at least do it AND be honest about it.
Keeping a food diary for a short while can provide for some very insightful information regarding your diet; its paramount if you are looking to make improvements in your diet as the nutritionist will want to assess your current eating habits before proposing any changes. Maybe you want to lose weight? The food diary provides the bottom line, how many calories are you currently eating in a day?!
So what goes into a food diary? Its just a couple of simple entries. You’ll want to record the date and exact time of day, details of what you ate and an estimate of how much, and you could also mention what you were doing or your mood at the time you ate. It may also be relevent to include details of any exercise or activities that you have done during the day.
Rather than be shy to show or embarrased about your diet, bite the bullet and put it all down as accurately and completely as you can; it won’t be long before you’re seeing the benefits of your honesty as the pounds start to drop off
