I’ve found micro tracking of my time over a week long period really beneficial. I don’t think the same would be true for diet as there is so many variables so look at, picking any one thing to look at would be privileging that hypothesis to an unreasonable degree. That said if there is something specific you are looking for, where you would expect short term fluctuations to be important, then I could see the value.
I suppose I would also see the value if you were running a trial on yourself. Toss a coin at the start of the week if heads each X every day, if tails then don’t. Measure something you expect to change over such a short period of time (e.g. sleep, subjective energy levels)
