The adult testers are required to do two food journals.
I've always thought that I've eaten healthy, but writing these things down caused me to think deeply about the food I was eating. In the past, I'd pass off things that weren't good for me, but writing it down, forced me to think more deeply about what I was eating, and that I realized that still made some unhealthy choices. There were other times when I didn't eat enough. It interesting how writing can force us to think more deeply about things, especially when we're reflecting on something. While recording what I was eating, I also made plans for future meals, thinking about how I could fit more nutritious foods into my diet.
I suppose the same thing apply to these journals, or the tracking of any other activity.
I think it is great that you can think deeply about what you eat and whether it is healthy or not.
