Ingesta® 3-day Food Record

Where the paper food diary completed manually* is often time-consuming and prone to error, a photo-based food record simplifies data collection and helps estimate the quantities consumed.

The Ingesta® 3-day Food Record can be used before a consultation or to support personal nutrition follow-up. Over three days, this visual food diary gives your dietitian a truer picture of your eating habits.
