Behind the Field Notes.
Kalden Field Notes is an independent editorial publication based in London. It documents the patterns of everyday nutrition practice and weight awareness through sustained observation and evidence-informed reporting.
The Field Notes Approach
Kalden Field Notes was founded on a single editorial premise: that the most reliable information about nutrition and weight comes not from prescriptive programmes but from sustained observation of how people actually eat. The publication applies the logic of field notes — careful, dated, non-judgmental record-keeping — to the subject of everyday food choices.
The publication's editorial scope is deliberately bounded. It covers the relationship between food choices and body weight, the role of vegetables and fruit in daily diet, eating patterns and their rhythms, and the interplay between an active lifestyle and nutritional balance. It does not cover supplements, fad diets, or rapid weight-change programmes.

Eleanor Whitfield has spent a decade writing about everyday food practices in the United Kingdom. Her editorial focus at Kalden Field Notes is on observable food patterns and their relationship to weight awareness over time. She writes about what the record shows, not what it ought to show.
Tobias Ashcroft writes on the behavioural dimensions of everyday eating. He has kept a personal food record for seven years and his work for Kalden Field Notes draws on that practice alongside a close reading of the nutritional observation literature. He is particularly interested in eating rhythms and the weekly food record.
