3 Day Diet History Form
Instructions:
You are being asked to record ALL foods and drinks eaten/drank by your child for 3 days in a
row. The following directions will guide you in filling out the form.
1. Please fill out ALL the information at the top of the first page.
2. Please record the DATE and DAY of the week for each day. Record ALL food and drinks
eaten along with the TIME your child ate or drank them. It is best to carry the history
form with you and to record items immediately so that nothing is missed.
3. Include an EXACT description of the item and your best guess of the portion size of the
amount eaten. Write the brand name of formula your child is on (i.e. Enfamil, Prosobee,
etc.), what type of juice he/ she drank (i.e. apple, grape, etc.), any special recipes for
drink mixtures your child uses (i.e. 24 calorie Isomil + 1 tsp Polycose), and any additions
to foods (i.e. ¼ cup mashed potatoes + 1 Tbsp margarine). Be sure to include dressings,
sauces, gravies, or anything extra.
4. It is suggested that you may wish to use measuring spoons and cups when serving your
child for these 3 days to report the amounts eaten/ drank better.
