To prepare for your dietician consultation, you'll need to do a 24-hour meal recall. Here’s how to do it in simple steps:

1. Start with the Morning: Think about everything you ate and drank yesterday morning. This includes breakfast, any snacks, and drinks. Write down the time and amount for each item.

2. Move to Lunch: Recall what you had for lunch. Note down the main meal, any sides, snacks, and beverages you consumed. Remember to include portion sizes as best as you can.

3. Afternoon Snacks: List any snacks or drinks you had in the afternoon. Be sure to include things like coffee, tea, or soda.

4. Dinner Time: Write down your dinner details. Include the main dish, sides, desserts, and any drinks you had. Again, note the portions.

5. Evening Snacks: Don’t forget to include any late-night snacks or drinks before bed.

6. Review and Detail: Look over your list to make sure you haven’t missed anything. Be as detailed as possible – include things like condiments, sauces, and even small bites.

This 24-hour meal recall helps the dietician understand your eating habits and provide personalized advice. Don’t worry about being perfect; just do your best to remember everything!
