How To Prepare For Your Appointment

In order for your time with the dietitian to be spent effectively, it is important that you prepare a food journal a few days in advance. Typical entries may include:

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION:

• Time of day
• The food description & amount eaten

Valuable Information:

• Time spent eating
• Location of eating
• Other activities done while eating
• Mood at the time of eating
• Level of hunger at the time of eating

At your appointment the dietitian will obtain a diet history and background information.  This process will assist you in becoming aware of your eating habits so you can make healthful changes.

Why Keep A Food Journal?
Food journals are essential to better understand your eating habits. They allow you to see the type, quantity and nutritional value of the food you choose to eat. Food journals also help you understand triggers that affect your eating habits and may assist you in developing strategies for healthful change.
