Tips For Completing A Food Journal

Write as you go

Don't wait until the end of the day to write down what you eat. This makes it hard to remember exactly what you ate and the portion sizes.

Focus on portions

Try to include common portion sizes such as cups, teaspoons or tablespoons. If you don't know exact amounts, then estimate. For example, a deli sandwich with about six slices of meat.

Don't exclude

The goal is to understand how you eat. Remember to write down little bites and extra snacks. Excluded information does not benefit anyone.

Don't forget drinks

Juice, coffee drinks, alcohol and milk all contain calories. It's important to include them in your food journal. Also include water. Dehydration may lead to feelings of hunger.
