FOOD DIARY

This food diary journal is great for anyone. The printable food diary gives you a weeklong food journal to track your food intake for seven days. Keep track of food eaten throughout the day. Then, at the end of the day or week, compare your food total with your recommended food intake and personal goals. While food diaries are excellent tools for people trying to lose weight, the emphasis of this (PDF) food diary is not calorie intake, it is intended to help you meet your daily nutrient needs based on the USDA MyPyramid food guidance system.
This personal food diary can help you get an idea of what you are eating over a week. At the end of the week you can make any needed adjustments.
