Anybody Keeping a food diary?

[Capt Lightning]

I keep a diary of all the meals I make and plans for the week to come. If I don't do this, I can't remember what I've decided to cook. It also enables me to maintain shopping lists so I always have the ingredients I want.
Anyone else keep a food diary?

I would if I actually cooked for myself. I usually make packaged dinners. That's an excellent idea though for keeping within budget as well.

Sort of. I have a little book that I record on the right hand side what I made for dinner, Sunday to Saturday. The left hand is for notes on what I might make that week. I have to keep it on the kitchen counter otherwise I forget to fill it out.

I keep two daily journals, and it only takes 15 minutes or less each day to update them:

(1) A regular journal of every event in my day, everywhere I went, every business conversation, every significant item in the news, every phone call, text, etc. Those journals are kept by year (one journal for each year) and go back many years.

(2) The other is a health journal where I record every meal, all health issues, all doctor and dental visits. I could look back right now and see what I had for any meal of any date this year, or any past year since I started this journal about 8 years ago.
