ABSTRACT:
Apparatus cooperates with a machine readable record member to accumulate a dietary journal. The apparatus includes a plurality of displays arranged for one-by-one exhibition. Each display includes at least one food item representation and, in association therewith, indicia describing discrete selectable quantities of the represented food item. Each food item representation comprises a written description of and a picture illustrating the represented food item. The record member, advantageously a punched card, has a plurality of spaced-apart entry locations and each food item representation corresponds to a different one of the entry locations. In use, the record member is inserted into the apparatus, and, in registration with the exhibition of each display, the corresponding entry locations are exposed. Manually operable input means provide for entering digitally encoded food consumption data at the exposed entry locations.
