Assignment Sheet Part 2

Food Journal

1. Record your dietary intake for 5 days
a. Try not to change your eating habits, this should represent your usual food intake.
b. Carry the Dietary Intake Recording Form (below) with you during the days you will be recording your food intake. You may also use an online program or smartphone app as long as you can capture (print or photo) what you have recorded. You will be submitting documentation of your food journal.
c. Record all foods, beverages, and ingredients in mixed dishes, and the amount of each you consumed. Fully describe each food and drink item with as much detail as you can. (“batter fried chicken drumstick with skin” not just “chicken”). Don’t include supplements (unless they contribute more than a trace of calories) or spices (dried oregano, cinnamon, etc.).
d. Do not wait until the end of the day to record your intake. Your accuracy will vastly improve if you record before, during or immediately after each meal or snack.
e. To increase the accuracy of estimates of food portion sizes, refer to the Nutrition Facts panels on food labels and note the weight or measure of a standard amount of the food item. (For example, a slice of cheese may be labeled as weighing an ounce.) Serve yourself foods and beverages using a cup measure, or bowls, mugs, and glasses of known volume.
