What is the benefit of using a food diary and weight monitoring together in diet therapy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both intake and outcome are evaluated
A food diary records what, how much, and when a person eats, while weight trends provide one measurable indication of the body’s response over time. Used together, they help the dietitian compare intake with outcomes, identify adherence or excess patterns, and adjust energy, portions, or meal structure. Weight alone cannot explain dietary behaviour or clinical change.
