A three day food record is designed to get an accurate description of your typical daily diet. Since
this food record will be used to help you make appropriate dietary changes it is important that you try
not to change your usual eating patterns for these three days. Please try to be as accurate as possible
by recording all of the foods and beverages you eat and drink. Include the exact amount of food
eaten and important variations (ex. skim, 2%, reduced fat, sugar-free, etc). If the food is prepared at
home or in a restaurant, please include a description of the preparation techniques (ex. grilled vs.
fried). Rate your hunger/fullness cues on a scale of 1-10 by how your stomach feels before and after
you eat (1 = famished, starving; 3 = stomach grumble; 5 = neither hungry nor full; 7 = politely full;
10 = painfully full). For example, if you feel your stomach grumble and you decide to eat, record a 3
for hunger. If you eat until you feel politely full record a 7 for satiety. Recording this information
can help you identify external or emotional cues to eat.
