Food Diary
A food diary is a way of recording what you eat and drink over a period of time.
As most of us are habitual in what we eat and tend to eat the same foods on a regular basis; a 3 day food diary is sufficient to capture a snap shot of your eating patterns.
For the 3 days, it is advised to select 2 week days and 1 day at the weekend, as our diary habits change at the weekend.
Using the record sheets, ensure you write down all you eat and drink and where possible, quantity and type.

Healthy Eating Guides
The Australian Dietary Guidelines provide up-to-date advice about the amount and kinds of foods that we need to eat for health and wellbeing.
The recommendations are based on scientific evidence, developed after looking at good quality research.
By following the dietary patterns recommended in the Guidelines, we will get enough of the nutrients essential for good health and also help reduce our risk of chronic health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some cancers and obesity.
