It’s now 1 PM on Sunday. Fred has just returned from Trader Joe’s and wants to record the food he bought and also record the food he ate last night and today (dinner, breakfast, and lunch).
He goes to the DailyDigest home page, logs in and sees his personal home page. The Trader Joe’s receipt is right in front of him, so Fred decides to record his newly-purchased groceries. Fred navigates to his Food List and enters in each item he purchased and its cost. After entering in “aspargus,” he sees he has misspelled the word and has to fix that entry. Then Fred gets a phone call and is temporarily distracted.

Fred records last night’s dinner, which was spaghetti and meatballs from Baker House Dining, then moves on to breakfast. Since Fred cooked breakfast for himself, he wants to indicate that he ate some of the items in his Food List. (But he has just added food items from his Trader Joe’s shopping trip, so they are now mixed in with the food he possessed before going to Trader Joe’s. This makes it potentially harder for him to find the food he wants.) Fred fills in his breakfast, which was two pieces of toast with peanut butter, two scrambled eggs, a banana, and a cup of milk. Incidentally, Fred finished all his peanut butter during breakfast, and wants to note that change on his Food List. He also doesn’t know what food group peanut butter should be in, but he knows it is high in fat and protein.
After recording breakfast, Fred notices that he forgot to enter in the last item on his Trader Joe’s receipt into his Food List. (He had been distracted by the phone call.) He is a bit obsessive-compulsive, so he saves his breakfast entry before entering lunch, and then goes to record the last item on his receipt.

Fred is suddenly curious about his eating habits. First, he looks at the actual entries he made throughout the week, just to glance over everything he ate. This view makes him see that he accidentally recorded yesterday’s dinner as being for today (he put in the wrong date), and he keeps in mind he has to go fix that. Next, he seeks some analysis of this week’s eating habits. He had set a goal this week to eat more vegetables and spend less money on snack food, so he wants to see a graph of the amount of vegetables he has consumed in the past month (in order to see a trend), and also a graph of how much money he has spent on snack food in the past month.
