If I am not sure how I felt, I like to journal about what happened before I ate more than I should. Since I am an emotional eater I like to keep a food journal where I record what I eat and how I felt prior to overeating. However, emotional eating often eats for other reasons such as when they are happy or sad, depressed, or lonely. Food is supposed to be fuel to eat when we are hungry. It doesn’t only record what you ate but why you ate. I am not trying to promote the diet but to provide a food journal for those who have been advised to try an elimination diet.Ī food journal is more than just a food log. You should of course only try an elimination diet under the supervision of your doctor. If you don’t experience any symptoms then start reintroducing the next food group. Symptoms can include (headaches, fatigue, bloating, stomach pain, or changes in bowel habits). When you reintroduce a food group, look out for symptoms for a period of 2 to 3 days. When you do introduce them to your diet again, you check for symptoms and write them down in your food sensitivity journal (see above). The most common culprits for food allergy and intolerance are: citrus, dairy products, eggs, gluten, soy, peanuts, shellfish, tree nuts, beef, and corn ( source). You refrain from eating all foods known to cause food intolerances for 2-3 weeks (the elimination phase) and then you introduce them one by one (reintroduction phase). The best way to identify food intolerances and sensitivities is with an elimination diet. One of the benefits of a food journal is to detect food intolerances and sensitivities.

How did you eat? Did you eat quickly without paying attention to what you ate or did you eat mindfully? After you eat, you fill out how full you are. Why did you eat? Were you truly hungry or were you stressed or bored? This will help you pinpoint the triggers that cause you to eat. Before you eat, you fill out how hungry you are (rate your hunger on a scale of 1-6). This mindful eating food log will help you develop mindfulness and to be more aware when you eat. If you want a food tracking chart in Excel format, see the options above.

You can also just add a food log to your daily spread.

You can create a food tracker bullet journal devoted entirely to what you eat, a food journal section in your notebook, or just add a few spreads whenever you need them.
