Why use a food diary?

Food diaries are a key way to help you become more aware of your eating and activities habits.

A food and activity diary will also encourage you to make conscious choices about what you eat and do – writing it down gives you the chance to think twice before you act. This is one of the most useful things you can do to help you gain control of your weight.

Write down everything you eat and drink over the day.

It is vital when using a food and activity diary that you give as much detail as you can throughout.

For example, a cup of tea just doesn’t explain enough, we need to know you had a cup of earl grey with a little semi skimmed milk and 2 teaspoons of sugar.

Portions sizes are very important, so please let us know the weight or portion of everything you eat. For example, spaghetti Bolognese would be 250g of lean mince, ½ jar of pasta sauce, 150g of whole meal pasta and ½ of garlic bread.

Remember the more honest you are, the more it will help you. It can take a little while to get used to and sometimes it may seem like a waste of time, but it’s worth the effort.

People who successfully lose weight and keep it off monitor what they ear and how active they are. This could be in the form of a diary, or in their head. It’s a matter of finding out what works best for you.
