The food diary is an important tool in dietary self-awareness. A typical food diary has an entry for every time something is eaten. A food diary may also include an estimate of the number of calories or other nutritional information on the food eaten.
Food diaries serve two purposes.
One is to shed light on what kinds of foods are being eaten, how much and the nutritional value of the food. And the other purpose is to help the eater understand more about his or her eating habits and the things that trigger eating, in order to develop a strategy for changing those habits and avoiding the triggers. For instance, if a diary shows eating is triggered by boredom rather than hunger, this is a signal to develop other ways of relieving boredom. If extreme hunger is the trigger, smaller, more frequent meals and light, high fiber snacks might be the answer. Keep your food diary for at least two weeks before making any changes in your diet.
