Frequently asked questions
How is an online food diary different from a printable one?
Clients log each meal on their phone right after eating, add a photo if they like, and every entry lands in your response list instead of a paper sheet you see once a week.
What should a food diary track?
The meal, time, what was eaten and drunk, hunger before and fullness after, where it was eaten and how the client felt. This template includes each one, plus water and notes.
How do I see one client's entries together?
Send responses to Google Sheets and filter by name or email, or give each client a link with a ref tag such as ref=jane so their entries are easy to find.
