Recording Food Diary Entries
Go to the main button across the top of the screen marked DIARY.
Down the left of the screen choose the button marked FOOD DIARY.
Make sure the correct day is selected on the calendar across the top of the screen.
Add food items by first selecting meal type from the first box - Breakfast/Dinner/Lunch etc.
Then select the food itself by typing in the first few letters of the food. A list of foods appears - select the one required.
Now enter how much of the food you have eaten by looking at the portion and entering how many portions you have had. Sometimes you may have to enter a decimal proportion, for example if you have 25g of chocolate and the portion shows as 100g, then enter that you have eaten 0.25 of a portion of chocolate.
Add all additional items consumed. Nutritional information appears to the right of the screen, and if you scroll across you will see your intake of the various nutrients compared to recommended levels.
Don't forget to add in any vitamin supplements taken as this will affect the nutritional analysis of the day.
