Dear diary
It is time to maintain the dairy to keep the record of what we take and what we need. Your task for today is to keep a detailed food record for at least three consecutive days, including one weekend day (for example, Thursday-Friday-Saturday or Sunday-Monday-Tuesday), Choose three days that you feel would he typical of your usual intake - you want to obtain the most accurate picture possible. If you can keep your list for a whole week, it might paint an even more accurate picture.
Record everything you eat or drink during those days, including water any added salt, candies, gum, condiments, vitamin/mineral supplements, sports drinks, medications and alcoholic beverages.
This entire week you would have to work bit hard don’t be at ease. Firstly set your goal for the entire week.
Use a separate sheet of paper for each day and create some columns with the following tides: Meal/Snack, Time, Description, Amount, Location, Hunger Level and Mood. In the first column, record whether the foods and/or beverages were part of a meal (and which one) or a snack.
In the second column, record the time when all foods and beverages were consumed.
In the third column, give as much specific information as possible about the foods and beverages you consumed. For example, list method of cooking (baked, broiled, fried, boiled and roasted).
In column four, record the location of your meal. In column five, list how hungry you feel when you start eating. Use a scale of 1-5 with 1 meaning "not very hungry" and 5 meaning "very hungry" In column six, record any significant feelings you experienced before and after eating.
Tip for the Day
