·  
Record your intake of foods and beverages for 3 consecutive days, if possible (one weekend and two weekdays).  If not consecutive, make sure all three days are in the same week.

·  
Write down what you eat, when you eat it or as soon as you are finished.  Or take a picture of you meal/snack and write down the information later.

·  
Include all snacks, beverages, and “bites”—even if you just grab a cracker on the way to the bathroom, write it down.

·  
Write down the specifics of the foods/beverages, the portion consumed in common units (cups, tablespoons, slices, pieces, and fluid ounces), the source of the food (fresh, canned, frozen, restaurant), and any other specifics (additions: sugar, syrup, ketchup; toppings on pizza, etc.).

·  
Accuracy in portion sizes improves the accuracy of the nutrient analysis.

·  
Check food labels for specific information.

·  
Write down the time of day.

·  
Be complete, honest and thorough in your food record.  I will not be analyzing your diet.  This is for you to know about your food intake.
