How do I fill this out?
You will notice in the tables provided that you are able to fill in text underneath the columns.
Go about your day as you normally would, but just pay attention to what you’re eating, when
you’re eating, and what you’re drinking. In the column on the left labelled “Meal & Timestamp”,
you will write the meal name and what time you had that meal at. In the column on the right
that’s labelled “Food, Drink & Quantity”, you will list everything you eat and drink at that
mealtime, including the measurements of the food.
For example, you could write “Breakfast- 9am” in the column on the left, and then write “2 slices
whole grain bread, 2 eggs fried in 1 tsp olive oil, 1 orange, and 8 oz glass of water” in the column
on the right.
You will complete this for all of the meals listed for this period.
