Food Diary Guidelines
In order for Bay Area Sports Nutrition and Wellness to completely assess individual clients a complete 3 day food and beverage record is extremely beneficial.
The below guidelines can be helpful in us obtaining an accurate record.

1) Please include 2 weekday and 1 weekend day.
2) Refrain from changing your eating pattern.  Eat your standard agenda, to assist with accuracy and goal setting.
3)List each food and beverage in detail and be as specific as possible in regards to amounts, types of preparation (broil, fry, saute, ect).
Use cups for items like vegetables, pasta, rice, cereal, soup, stew or chopped fruits.   Use tablespoon or teaspoons for items like sugar, butter, salad dressing, syrup, jam or jelly.   When reporting fluid intake use cups or ounces.  1/2 a cup equals 4 ounces,   1 cup equals 8 ounces.
Report meat, fish, poultry, cheese, pizza, pie, cake.
4) It is best to record your diary right after eating/drinking so as not to forget items consumed.  Try carrying a napkin or perhaps a 3 by 5 index card with you to write things down before you forget.
5) Try to enter in times of day for each meal as timing is a critical issue.
6) The free Web  www.fitday.com can help you track you food record and can be sent to Bay Area Sports Nutrition and Wellness for review.
