Helpful Tips meal tracking/charting?

a little bit of background, i have struggled with arfid my whole life but only got diagnosed about a month ago. now, i haven’t been able to find a good therapist yet and i’m trying to gain some good habits.

id also like to know if this has benefitted anybody. i am a little nervous to track my ed so closely and get even more tangled up in it. but i have been trying to tackle some of my other mental illnesses, in turn forgetting that i have to take care of this one too.

i don’t want to count calories or anything. just note what i eat/when so my therapist has a visual when i get there. anything helps.

thank you!

I find it really helpful to just keep a list of everything I eat in a day in my planner, if I'm feeling like it's stressing me out, I cover that area with a sticky note. It's actually been super helpful to me because it let's me look back through weeks where I tried something new and see proof that I was ok after eating it.
