Tracking what you eat with a food log is a great way to see what you've been eating and then start to add more nutrient ruch foods to your diet.

This tracking form is very easy to use.

Here are the rules:

1. Using the sheet I've provided, record everything you eat. This should include foods and beverages eaten at meals and snacks. Plus everything you added to them... salt, creamer, sugar, Equal—all of it!
2. Record carefully how the food was prepared. Be as descriptive as possible (e.g., fried in corn oil, broiled in margarine).
3. Be sure to indicate the amount of food eaten. Serving size is very important! Use cups, ounces, tablespoons, teaspoons for measurements.
4. Provide brand names and labels for packaged foods.
5. For sandwiches, casseroles, soups and other recipes indicate the ingredients contained in the food. For example, a turkey sandwich might be described as 2 slices of whole wheat bread, 1 oz. of baked turkey breast without skin, 1 slice of tomato, 2 leaves of iceberg lettuce, 1 tablespoon of light mayonnaise.
6. Indicate where and with whom you were with when you ate. Also describe your feelings at the time - were you worried, content, lonely, stressed? (Be honest with yourself.)
7. Carry this form with you so that you can write down foods as they are eaten. Do not wait until the end of the day to record your food intake.
