Food tracker chart for children
This food tracker chart for children pairs a list of food categories with a list of outcomes, so you can note what your child ate next to how the day went. Dairy, gluten, nuts and processed sugar are among the categories, and Meltdown and Upset Stomach are two of the outcomes.
Parents use this children's food diary printable when they suspect a food is behind a change in mood or behavior.
Food categories on the food tracker chart
- Dairy
- Gluten
- Nuts
- Processed sugar
- Sweeteners
- Eggs
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Fish
- Meat
The sheet names more categories than these ten.
Outcomes listed on the sheet
- Good Day
- Meltdown
- Upset Stomach
- Extra Energy
Other outcomes appear on the sheet too, so it doubles as a meltdown tracker for a child whose behavior seems to shift after sweeteners or processed sugar.
How parents and caregivers fill it in
Write each food on the food tracker sheet under its category, then mark the outcome that matches how your child felt or behaved that day. Over several days you'll build a written record of meals and moods to show your child's doctor or a dietitian.
Babysitters and grandparents can add entries on days they handle meals.
Sizes & colors
You'll receive a zipped folder of PDF files in A4 and US Letter sizes. Each size comes in eight colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple and grey), so you can give every child in the house a sheet in their own color.
