Logging frequency
Logging frequency is how often a person records, counted in days with an entry or entries per day, as distinct from how long each recording session takes. IZeat makes a single item cheap to record, so that frequency can be high without time being long: a snack is one sentence in a chat that is already open, recorded on the day it was eaten.
The 2019 trial that timed food recording found that time per day fell by more than a third between the first month and the sixth, and that the number of days with a record, not the minutes spent, was what went with the trial's outcome. Experienced loggers get fast; the trouble is the first weeks, when time is longest and the habit newest. A record that costs a sentence shortens those weeks.
Frequency is also what makes a record trustworthy: a day recorded as it happens holds what was eaten, a day reconstructed on Sunday holds what was remembered. IZeat's assistant can record several meals at once from one message, and each one lands under its own meal type on the day named, so catching up is possible; recording as it happens is still what the design makes easiest.
Put it into practice: Logging a meal.
