A food journal is an amazing tool for building the relationship between client and educator. It is a way for the educator to learn a lot about the client's daily habits, as well as their daily food choices. Being responsible for recording these food choices also creates a sense of self awareness for the client. It can also be a great way to track progress. Watch how the journal changes over the course of your time together.
