About this template
A food diary does not need calories to be useful. Dietitians ask for one to find patterns: the 4pm crash, the bloating after certain meals, the evening snacking that follows skipped lunches. This template records meals in plain text, water in glasses, and how hungry and how satisfied you felt as ratings. A multiple-choice question about symptoms afterwards is there for anyone tracking an intolerance or a digestive condition.
It is for people trying to eat more mindfully, working with a dietitian, testing an elimination diet, or just wanting to notice what they eat instead of counting it. There is no weight field and no target, on purpose. The habit checklist holds the small intentions that actually change eating: cooked at home, ate without a screen, had vegetables at lunch.
How to use it
- Add each meal as you go rather than reconstructing the day at night.
- Rate hunger before eating and satisfaction after, so the ratings mean something.
- If you are tracking a symptom, log it even on days with none. The absence is the useful data.
- After two weeks, show the entries to a dietitian or doctor if you are working with one. This is the format they ask for.
