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.
