Advice on Food Diary Structure and use case re efficiency

Questions & Help
1

Hello anybody got time to help me create a Food Diary template to use in my journal daily.
I have created a My Template Page and added Food Diary fields to it which looks ok but would like some feedback if i could make it more efficent / useable see below.

Not sure if the structure is correct but been using for a few days so it saves a lot of time. Would be great with some kind of dropdown selection option. But interested is any advice or how i can view the food data consolidated over a period of time. I am using # tags for some of the questions.

But as i use a Page for all my templates i think i read it was better. But i note my Food Diary is not do you think it should be?

I think this very much comes down to personal preference.
When I used a food diary last year it was a lot simpler lol.

I have a food page and basically in my journal it looked like this:

  • :plate_with_cutlery: [[food]]
    • 09:00 food item
    • 12:00 food item 1, food item 2

Etc.

Consider what information you would like to see later.
I could imagine using properties more.
(I dunno how you use it, so bare with me lol)
