Health Matters: What to Include in a Food Journal

Journaling has many purposes and many benefits. If you’re trying to be more mindful of your eating habits, starting a food journal is one of the best ways to keep track of things. It can hold you accountable for everything you eat. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain weight, or just maintain your overall physical health and wellness, a food journal is a great tool to dive into.

The old saying “you are what you eat” rings true in many ways. The things you eat every day can impact more than your waistline. Your diet can affect your sleep health, your energy levels, and even your mood.

Food diaries are often suggestions from doctors or nutritionists. But, you don’t have to wait for a medical professional to give you the green light on starting one.
