Simple daily weight tracking?

I’d like one note (Weight log or diet log) which every day puts a new line with the date auto-filled and then a space for me to put my days weight. Is that possible?

You can add a weight property to your daily note and log it there. Then use the dataview and charts plugins to visualize the data.

If you really want a single note, dataview’s inline fields could do this but I’m not sure how you’d set that up.

That said, I’d encourage you to try daily notes. I was hesitant to use them at first because I thought it would clutter my vault but after trying, I found it very handy to have a note for each day to track things. I use them for habit tracking, daily log, and pomodoro log.

You can make a template for the line. If you want to include the new line in it so you don’t have to press Return, put the date etc. on the second line of the template.

You will still have to trigger the template yourself each day, but it is easier than typing everything. If you want to make it a little easier, there is a community plugin that lets you sign hotkeys to templates.

If it were me, I’d use a table in note called Diet Log.

Create a table with a row for each day with columns to track dates and log data then use The Advanced Tables plugin and its basic aggregate functions.
