Food Diary

Please complete a 5 Day Food Diary for Medical Review with Dr Samra

Research shows that a 5-day food diary provides enough information to give both the patient and clinician enough insight into eating behaviours.

You can submit one day at a time, and this will be entered into your medical file.

1. Write everything you eat for five days.
2. Include at least one weekend day.
3. Ensure all beverages and snacks are recorded, as well as food eaten at meals.
4. Missed meals or snacks, mark it N/A
5. Record hunger level right before a meal
6. Record fullness and satisfaction level right after a meal (on a scale of 0-10). This helps focus your attention on hunger and satiety cues.
7. Measure the exact amount of food if you know it (such as a 200g can of tuna). If not, use your best estimate (such as a fist-size serving of vegetables) of the amount and ingredients.
8. Estimate grams of NET CARBS in your meal/snack (net carbs are total carbs minus fibre). You may also want to track fat as it is the primary source of energy for the body when carbs are reduced
9. Advanced users may optionally provide Ketone or Glucose measurements as well.
