What is on the sheet

  • Fourteen rows: time, food or drink, serve, kcal and kJ
  • A total for the day and a place for your goal
  • Eight water boxes
  • A4 and US Letter

The picture shows the A4 calorie tracker printable. The US Letter version has the same layout.

How to use it

Write each food as you eat it, not at the end of the day, with the serve and the energy from the label. Fill in kcal, kJ or both: Australian labels give kJ, so the sheet has room for both. Add the column at night for the total.

Getting the numbers

The label on the pack gives energy per serve and per 100 g. For fresh food, the food pages on this site and the Daily Journal food planner give per 100 g and common serves. To convert, kJ divided by 4.184 is kcal.

A goal that is yours

The goal line is for a number you choose, perhaps from the calorie calculator on this site. The total tells you where the day landed; it is not a verdict. If you miss it, write the next day as a fresh page.

Paper or app

Writing it down works for some weeks. When you want search, serves and the day added up for you, with kcal and kJ side by side, the Daily Journal food planner does that, and the first three habits are free.

Questions

Should I log kcal or kJ?

Either. The sheet has both columns, so use the one on your labels. The converter on this site turns one into the other.

How many foods fit on one page?

Fourteen rows. Print a second page for a long day, or group a meal into one row.

Where do I find a daily goal?

The calorie calculator on this site gives an estimate from your details. It is a starting point, not a target set for you.

Does it come in A4 and US Letter?

Yes. Both sizes have the same layout.
