This used to be called a food diary

There can hardly be a better foundation to any discussion about a balanced diet than starting with your current choices.

This is as much about reassurance as identifying pupils who are not making choices that give them a balanced diet. For all the healthy eating messages that pupils may have understood the proof is in their actual choices.

This is the best way for pupils to learn about a balanced diet. It is as likely to help those who understand what a balanced diet is, as those who have yet to learn.

What does a personal diet report look like?

The report takes a pupil's choices over a week or longer and displays in colour graphs how those selections average out. Alongside this it takes the nutrient that you have received the least of and provides some advice on sources of this vitamin or mineral and what it does for you.
