Food Diary
Keeping a food diary can help you understand and improve your eating habits. Some important information to include:
What you ate
When you ate
How much you ate, and
How you feel
Read this Harvard Health Blog post for more information.
Photographic food diaries will automatically capture the What, When, and How Much. Evidence also suggests that this intervention at the time you are actually eating is more effective at changing habits. (Zepeda & Deal 2008).
