Elements of Guide to Make a Food Journal
Before we implement these elements, we should make sure about our purpose for using a food journal. For examples:

- How hungry was I?
- Where did I eat?
- When did I eat?
- What I ate?
- How many portions did I eat?

- What did I do while I was eating? If yes, what was it?
- Who were you eating with?
- How was my mood when I ate?
- What did I crave when it was not my eating time?
