Your diet analysis is based on your food intake over a 3 day period. Follow the instructions below to enter your intake and then use our online form to enter your information (see below).
It is essential that you include everything you eat and drink during this 3 day period. The following are some general guidelines to estimate the serving sizes.
  1. Keep track of everything you eat and drink for 3 days. Ideally 2 weekdays and 1 weekend day
  2. Record immediately after eating in complete detail -the more specific you are, the more accurate your diet analysis will be. Include:
    • The method of preperation (boiled, fried, baked, steamed, canned, frozen, etc)
    • Type of food (whole milk, chedder cheese, skinless chicken, whole wheat breat, etc)
    • All condiments (ketchup, butter, mustard, cream in coffee, etc) and brand names if possible.
    • When recording restaurant foods include the restaurant and the menu item (Ex: 'Starbucks non-fat grande mocha', 'Round Table pepporini pizza', 'Taco Bell bean and cheese burrito', etc.)
  3. Estimate the serving size by
    • Using measuring cups or spoons (Ex: 1 cup cereal)
    • By weight (Ex: 4 ounces chicken or 28 grams crackers)
    • By unit (1 apple, 1 slice of bread, 1 cookie).
  4. To help you, use the following tips to estimate measurements. The following are equivalent to:
    • Size of baseball = 1 cup or a medium piece of fruit, 1 cup salad
    • Cupcake wrapper = 1/2 cup rice, pasta, cut up fruit or veggies
    • Golf ball = 2 tablespoons peanut butter
    • Index and middle finger = 1 1/2 ounces cheese
    • Small fist = 1 cup cereal
    • A small cupped hand = 1-2 ounces nuts or pretzels
    • Deck of cards = 3 ounces meat or chicken
    • Thumb tip = 1 teaspoon oil or butter
    • Silver dollar = 1 tablespoon salad dressing, mayo or sour cream
    • CD = 1 pancake
    • 2x2 Matchbook = Cake or brownie
CYV Tip!
  • Use our Food record entry (pdf or word doc) to keep your food diary during the 3 day period.
