My food diary
Food diary is the basis for determining individual adjustments or changes in eating habits.
The diary reflects individual's eating habits. Without knowing the habits, an expert can not determine the changes that could improve the health of a patient.
Diet plan
Based on the completed food diary, a doctor, clinical dietitian or nutritionist advises dietary changes:
1. Organizing an eating schedule:
- regular meal intervals,
- three main meals and two snacks a mid-term,
- dinner at least three hours before bedtime;
3. Considering the reference values for nutrient and food intake.
4. Appropriate procedures for food preparation.
5. Distribution of energy by individual meals.
6. Physical activity plan.
