Client Dashboard (Food Dairy)

Understanding eating behaviors and making informed dietary recommendations are essential aspects of nutrition coaching. A food diary serves as a valuable tool that allows both nutrition professionals and clients to gain insights into eating patterns, make informed decisions, and work towards their health and wellness goals. In this article, we'll delve into the world of food diaries within the Foodzilla platform, exploring their features, benefits, and the comprehensive nutritional information they provide.

What Is a Food Diary?

A food diary is a chronological record of meals, snacks, and beverages consumed by an individual over a specific period. It serves as a visual record of what is consumed, providing insights into dietary habits and behaviors. In the context of Foodzilla, these diaries are organized into three time periods: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
