Food Purchase Diary is a free interactive platform to keep an online food diary. Here, recording and storing your food purchases is easier than ever before, accurate, and informative. Whether it is to keep an eye on your food budget or calorie consumption you can readily find information on this platform.
I am Dr. Gayaneh Kyureghian, the founder of Food Purchase Diary. Food is my passion. It is also my profession. As a trained Economist, I spent over a decade researching foods and food choices. Today, I share this platform with everyone who is as curious about their food budget, tracking nutrition, or the environmental footprint of their food choices as I am.
Take the guesswork out of your food budget and its composition. The simple, clean layout and visual tools will provide up-to-date information to improve the understanding of your budget and save money.
While calorie and nutrition information is readily available from the nutrition panels on most foods, it is a mystery how much we purchase in sum. Here, you can find the information you will need to make healthy diet choices.
In your virtual diary, you can search and compare entries by date, by store, by individual food, or groups of foods. It has never been easier to have your entire purchase history at a birds-eye view or under a microscope, anywhere, any time!
In two clicks you find the summary statements to peruse, analyze and understand your food and nutrient purchases for calendar months or for any period of your choice!
You have a virtual pantry at your fingertips! You can search your purchases for foods or food groups, as well as dates, locations, prices, and quantities purchased.
If you are here because you want to understand what you buy and why, so could be the others. Why not share your food preferences and thoughts and make money at the same time?
Keeping your online diary is made simple and intuitive. While we welcome your participation as a part of the FPD community, you can choose to be as involved in creating the diary as you prefer or can afford.
To get started, the sign up process is simple, short (about 3-5 minutes) and free of charge now and in the future. Once signed up, you can log in and start creating your diary right away.
To ensure the accuracy of entries, we require the submission of receipts, if available. At this point, you can either submit the receipt and we will log the trip for you. Or you can log the trip yourself by selecting the store from our list of stores and foods from our list of foods.
Just had a run to your local bakery for a loaf of bread and don't have a receipt? No problem. You can just as easily log your trip without a receipt by logging in foods one by one. Our online food and store databases make it easy and straightforward.
The expert analysts share their views of the latest hot topics
and innovations happening in the consumer world on the blog.
