Is Food Diary Effective?

Well, it is up to you actually. If you would like to keep a food diary to keep track your calorie intake and if you believe you can religiously write down your eating habits, perhaps you could give it a try.

Generally, food diaries are meant to be kept for at least a week or two, but studies have shown that even keeping track of what we eat for a day or two can help us make positive changes to our diets.

Some people keep a food diary indefinitely to help them maintain a healthy weight range once it's helped them achieve their ideal weight.

How long we keep a food diary is going to be a matter of personal choice, the most important thing is to start using one and when we feel that we don't need to anymore, we can stop.
