Lirena Dietary Pattern Tracker
The Lirena Dietary Pattern Tracker is a 14-question Lirena-authored tracker of usual eating and drinking over the past month. It is not a validated food-frequency questionnaire.
Overview
What is the Diet Tracker?
It asks how many days a week the person usually ate vegetables, fruit and pulses, had sugar-sweetened drinks, ate processed or fried food, ate past fullness, and kept a meal routine. It does not estimate nutrient intake and is not a diet prescription.
Development and clinical use
Lirena wrote the tracker for obesity-medicine intake. Its food and drink groups follow the UK Eatwell Guide. It is not a published research instrument.

Methodology
Understand the measure and its scoring conventions
Each question is answered in days a week, from less than 1 to every day. The tracker reports four scale sums: fruit, vegetables and pulses; sugar-sweetened drinks; processed and fried foods; and second helpings and eating past fullness. There is no total and there are no bands. Four meal-routine questions are recorded for review only.

Questions
What clinics ask before they evaluate the Diet Tracker
These answers stay inside educational catalogue scope. They do not replace official manuals or clinician judgement.
Is this a published food-frequency questionnaire?
No. It is a Lirena-authored tracker and does not imply a validated instrument.
Can I complete a diet questionnaire here?
No. This page does not collect food records or return nutrient scores.
Does it prescribe a diet?
No. Dietary advice remains with the responsible clinician.
Why is there no total score?
The questions cover behaviours that point in different directions, so the tracker reports four separate scales instead.
