Record the routine, with permission.
If the patient and professional agree, note a typical meal, roughly how much was eaten and what made it easy or difficult. Household measures are often easier to describe than weighing every ingredient.
- What was offered and approximately how much was eaten
- Appetite, taste or preparation difficulties
- A substitution you want to ask about
- A new instruction from the treating team
Keep the patient’s voice in the conversation.
Ask what they enjoyed, what they disliked and what they would like to try. Support should not become pressure to finish every meal. Bring concerns to the care team so the plan can be reviewed.
Keep sensitive information private.
Use the agreed record-sharing route. Do not send medical reports or identifiable meal diaries into public website forms or social-media comments.
Use the review to solve one practical problem.
For example: “This snack was difficult to prepare on working days; what can we use instead?” A concrete question is often more useful than reporting that the whole plan was unsuccessful. New concerning symptoms should go to the treating team without waiting for a monthly review.
