Guide
How to use a food journal
A food journal is a record of what you eat and how you feel afterwards. Kept for a few weeks, it shows patterns that are hard to see day to day: which meals leave you hungry, when snacking happens, or which foods line up with symptoms.
Decide what you're looking for
Weight goals, more fruit and veg, or possible food triggers each need slightly different notes. Write your reason on the first page.
Use the weekly log every day
The weekly food log has rows for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks and how you felt, across seven days. It's the quickest way to keep a daily habit.
Switch to detailed pages when you need them
The 31 food diary pages record the time, portion, hunger before, fullness after and any mood or symptoms. Use them for a month when a doctor or dietitian asks.
Name and rate symptoms
On the monthly symptom tracker, write up to eight symptoms down the side and rate them each day. The flare log has room for possible triggers and what helped.
Track water separately
The monthly hydration tracker has eight glasses a day. Low water days often line up with headaches or tiredness.
Look back weekly
Each Sunday, read the week and note one pattern. Change one thing at a time, so you can tell what made the difference.
What to include in a food journal
A food diary should be quick to fill in and detailed when it needs to be. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
Month calendars to note appointments and changes, and a weekly page with your goal actions. There are no daily pages; the weekly food log and detailed food diary pages cover each day.

Digital vs printable food journal
A digital food journal is always on the device you already have at mealtimes, which makes it easier to write things down straight away rather than trying to remember at night.
A printable food diary template is useful for appointments: print a month of food diary pages on A4 or US Letter, fill them in by hand and bring them to your doctor or dietitian.

An example week in a food journal
One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

See all themesIs it a food and symptom journal?
Yes. The food diary pages have a mood or symptoms column, and the monthly symptom tracker lets you name up to eight symptoms and rate them each day, with a flare log for possible triggers. Bring it to appointments if your doctor or dietitian asks for a food diary.
Does it count calories?
No. There's room to write calories or portions if you want, but nothing is calculated. Many people find writing the food and how they felt more useful than numbers.
Is there a free food journal?
You can build this food journal and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the food journal?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the food journal on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
Is the food journal dated or undated?
Dated by default, starting in January 2027. You can pick any start month and year (including this month), 12 or 18 months, and Monday or Sunday weeks. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself, so a skipped week isn't wasted.
Does the AI fill in the food journal for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the food journal?
With the default settings it comes to about 324 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, the Food Journal, Meals and Hydration pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off daily pages or sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
