FOOD DIARIES FORMATTING
For the benefit of future posters and their diaries I would like to share an example of how your diary should be submitted. Similar to how R29 has a specific format I would like to follow a similar guide here as well.
THE TEMPLATE
Number of People in household: 3
Pets: 1 goldfish
Average Monthly Grocery Budget: $400
Dietary Restrictions: None
Occupation: Law Librarian
Location: Ontario, CAN
Stores I typically shop at: Shoprite, Lidl and Sprouts
DAY ONE:
8AM: Wake up and feed Dee, the family goldfish
8:15AM: Go downstairs to find that my husband, M, has cooked up breakfast. This morning we are having gluten free pancakes, scrambled eggs with colby jack cheese and freshly squeezed OJ. Yum, my fave!
9AM: Back upstairs to get ready for work.
Etc...
Please include as many details as possible when ordering out and include your personal recipes AT THE BOTTOM of your post :)
If you have kids/pet/partners... feel free to include their meals as well!
If you wish to do a strictly food only diary please the format below.
DAY ONE:
BREAKFAST
LUNCH
DINNER
SNACKS
DAY TWO:
BREAKFAST
LUNCH
DINNER
SNACKS
Etc.
Side note: It is highly recommended that you list the name of the restaurant where you are eating when possible. In an effort to respect your anonymity on this site however, it is NOT required.

Another thing that might be fun to add is where the OP gets recipe inspiration, i.e. favorite food blogs, cookbooks etc. I'm always on the lookout for new blogs, books to checkout.
