What does my food log look like?

What the food log you sent contains: which days it covers, how much of each day is listed item by item, what it records -- calories, protein, calorie targets, body weights -- and anything in it that looks wrong.

Presenting Question

Question Verbatim from You: “What does my food log look like?”
Interpretation of the Question (an attempt to make the question slightly more precise, computable and scientific): What the food log you sent contains: which days it covers, how much of each day is listed item by item, what it records -- calories, protein, calorie targets, body weights -- and anything in it that looks wrong.

Answer to the Presenting Question: 9 days, 10-19–10-27

Time range: 9 days, 2026-10-19 to 2026-10-27, none missing. The last, 10-27, was sent mid-day; it is drawn but left out of the figures.
Frequency: every day has a total; the items behind it were kept on some — 3 fully itemised; 3 partly itemised; 1 items named, no numbers; 2 total only.
Quantities: calories on every day, a median of 5,280 kcal (4,665–5,910) over the 8 whole days; protein on 7 of them, a median of 307 g; a calorie target on 7, 4,200–5,900 kcal; 7 body weights on 6 days, from the scales named Hume and Taylor, 1 with no scale named and 1 called an InBody baseline.
Not recorded: where the numbers come from — they are Grok's estimates from what you told it, not label values — and, except for 6 items on 10-20, when you ate.
Problems found: 6 — 3 medium, 3 low; 5 actions recommended by PerSci. Both are listed at the foot of the page.

Data Source(s) and Date(s)

Data sources:
- Food log: a CSV made by Grok from your conversation with it, emailed 2026-10-27: 71 item rows and 9 daily totals. Calories and protein are Grok's estimates. Targets and body weights are what you told Grok, in its notes.
Dates: 2026-10-19 to 2026-10-27
Every value on this page is in tidy.csv beside it.

Time range and how complete each day is

9 days in a row, Monday 2026-10-19 to Tuesday 2026-10-27; no day is missing a total.

Day	kcal	target	protein g	items	completeness
Mon 10-19	5,710	4,200	449	11	partly itemised (27%)
Tue 10-20	5,320	4,600	303	13	fully itemised
Wed 10-21	4,665	4,600	357	12	items named, no numbers
Thu 10-22	5,050	4,800	224	2	partly itemised (31%)
Fri 10-23	5,240	4,800	307	1	partly itemised (16%)
Sat 10-24	5,715			0	total only
Sun 10-25	4,960	4,600	237	0	total only
Mon 10-26	5,910	5,900	392	21	fully itemised
Tue 10-27	2,175	5,000	138	11	fully itemised

“Fully itemised” means the listed items add up to at least 95% of the day's total. On the other days Grok kept the total and the names of some or all items, but said it had not saved their numbers.

Quantities reported: calories, targets, protein, body weight

Each field the log carries, on the same days as the chart above. Targets and weights are read from the notes on each day's total; their exact wording is under Browse the data.

Problematic issues

medium — On 10-25 two scales gave weights 4.1 lb apart: 190.7 lb (Hume), 186.6 lb (Taylor). A change in weight smaller than that cannot be told from which scale was used.
Action 1: Weigh on one scale, at one time of day; if two are used, step on both the same morning a few times. (see this in ‘Actions Recommended by PerSci’)
medium — Calories and protein are estimates from descriptions, not label values. “17.5oz bison spaghetti, 850 kcal” is a reasonable guess, not a measurement.
Action 2: For the foods you eat most, weigh once and check Grok's figure against the label. (see this in ‘Actions Recommended by PerSci’)
medium — 3 whole days (10-21, 10-24, 10-25) have a total and nothing to check it against.
Action 3: Ask Grok to export item numbers every day, even when it reports a total. (see this in ‘Actions Recommended by PerSci’)
low — Only 6 items have a time of day.
Action 4: If timing matters to a question, say when you ate as you log it. (see this in ‘Actions Recommended by PerSci’)
low — 10-27 was sent mid-day (2,175 kcal so far), so it is left out of the figures here; a later export will complete it.
low — The 10-19 note calls 188.2 lb an “InBody baseline”, but no InBody printout from that day was sent.
Action 5: Send the printout of that test, if there was one. (see this in ‘Actions Recommended by PerSci’)

Things you can do that would make this data more useful. Each one answers a problem listed above.

Weigh on one scale, at one time of day; if two are used, step on both the same morning a few times.
Because: On 10-25 two scales gave weights 4.1 lb apart: 190.7 lb (Hume), 186.6 lb (Taylor). A change in weight smaller than that cannot be told from which scale was used.
For the foods you eat most, weigh once and check Grok's figure against the label.
Because: Calories and protein are estimates from descriptions, not label values. “17.5oz bison spaghetti, 850 kcal” is a reasonable guess, not a measurement.
Ask Grok to export item numbers every day, even when it reports a total.

If timing matters to a question, say when you ate as you log it.
Because: Only 6 items have a time of day.
Send the printout of that test, if there was one.
Because: The 10-19 note calls 188.2 lb an “InBody baseline”, but no InBody printout from that day was sent.

What the prose above is checked against

✓ one DAILY TOTAL row per day, 9 days in a row with none missing
✓ no row has a row_type other than item or daily_total
✓ every 'Target' in the notes was read: 8 written, 8 read
✓ every body weight in the notes was read: 7 written, 7 read
✓ on the 3 fully itemised days the items add up to the day's total within 3 kcal
✓ exactly one day is marked in progress (2026-10-27), and it is the last
✓ all 4 time charts on this page share one axis, 2026-10-19 to 2026-10-27
