food log

Meal tracking record

A food log is a record of what someone eats and drinks, typically kept for health, dietary, or fitness purposes.

People maintain food logs to track calories, identify eating patterns, or monitor nutritional intake: My nutritionist asked me to keep a food log for two weeks.

Also called a food diary.
