Short answer

Describe the extremes and averages for yourself and use the scale as an observation, not a rule against eating.

What matters

A useful food diary describes the facts: time, dish ingredients, approximate volume and context. Gram-level accuracy is not needed for every task.

The subjective scale helps to notice the state before and after eating if the numbers have a constant personal meaning. First practical guide for this task: select a range and record the transcript.

How to organize observation

  1. 01

    Select a range and record the transcript.

  2. 02

    Assess your condition before eating if it does not create tension.

  3. 03

    After eating, make a second mark only if necessary.

  4. 04

    Look for repeating scenarios over several weeks.

What most often distorts observation?

  • Change the scale value depending on the dish.
  • Considering high satiety a moral mistake.
  • Use the scale in case of exacerbation of an eating disorder without a specialist.

A conclusion without rushing

Regularity is more important than perfect detail. A short recording immediately after eating is more reliable than trying to recall the whole day from memory in the evening.

For a final review, go back to the last step: look for repeating scenarios over several weeks. Compare it to the original target and specifically note exceptions that cannot be explained by the available records.

Self-monitoring Limit

In case of eating disorders, severe dietary restrictions, allergic reactions or a therapeutic diet, it is better to coordinate the observation plan with a specialist.

Brief conclusion

The subjective scale helps to notice the state before and after eating if the numbers have a constant personal meaning. Working minimum to continue: select a range and record the transcript. After this, use the remaining points as a testable plan and keep only actual observations.
