Cute Printable Food Diary Templates

I have been keeping a food diary on and off for years.
It’s worth the effort for me because any time I’m not feeling my best, I can look back and the answer is usually right there.
A food journal can help you identify patterns so you can make healthier choices over time.
It can also help you pinpoint certain foods that may be causing you discomfort!
(These printables pair well with a monthly workout calendar or weekly exercise log.)
Daily food diary
If you prefer to keep track on paper rather than an app, try one of these!
These templates have sections for tracking breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, any totals you want to keep up with, your priorities/goals, water intake, activity, and more.
Weekly food diary
A weekly layout might be a better option if you don’t have a need to track all the extras. This design will save you some paper too since there are 7 days on one sheet.
If you look closely, you’ll also notice that this template doesn’t have the meals labeled with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. This is on purpose!
I realize that some people don’t eat “3 square meals” per day. They may eat more mini meals or they may eat 2 large meals.
So, if you just wanna track the things you’re eating without worrying about which category they fall under, these are for you.
There’s also a bonus section at the top for writing your top goals for the week. If you haven’t noticed, we really like goal-setting around here.
Tips for using these food journal templates
These trackers are pretty simple and straightforward to use, but the biggest tip I can give you is to use either a folder with prongs or a three-ring binder to keep your pages organized.
No worries, there’s plenty of room for hole-punching!
You may want to consider printing out a few copies at one time so that you have enough for the week, month, quarter, or even the entire year if you want.
Either way, it’s important to have a designated spot for them. This prevents them from getting lost or contributing to paper clutter around your house.
It’s also so helpful if you ever want to flip back for meal ideas!
