Your ID is special to you. We ask you to use your ID so that we know it’s you filling in the diary.

Why am I being asked to fill in these diaries? |
We know that what we eat and what we do can affect our health and we
would like to know more about what children of your age eat and do.
Also we’re interested in finding out if a web based diary would be
better and more fun for children to use than a paper diary.

|
I can’t find a food or activity on the list |
That’s no problem! Just submit the food or activity you’d like to add by clicking the Submit button. Just type in the name and the category you think this food or activity fits into. You can then add this to your diary.

|
I don’t know what size of food portion I ate |
Don’t worry if you don’t know the exact portion size just use the drop down menu and pick the one you think would be the closest. i.e the banana was medium size. If you can't find a portion size that fits what you have eaten then select don't know from the options available.

I don’t always eat breakfast or snacks |
That’s fine. Just click Skip Occasion and go on to the next Eating Occasion.

|
It’s hard to remember how long I did some of my activities for |
|
That’s fine – you can make an estimate. If you get to the end of your Activity Diary and there are some gaps, the website will ask you again to try to remember what you’ve missed out. It might help to think about what you usually do at the time – are you in school? Is it Saturday morning?
|
|
|
There's a gap in the time, but I can’t always remember what I was doing |
If you have problems remembering what you were doing, think about an activity you might be doing around that time. For example, if the missing time is when you are in school, try to remember what lesson you were doing and how long you do that lesson for.

|
Sometimes I don’t do anything – do I need to put this in my diary too? |
Yes please! Remember, even “sitting down” is counted as an activity – so we need you to tell us this too.
