Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of capturing daily dietary intake of patients undergoing radiation therapy using a mobile food record. This is a prospective single group, non-randomized, feasibility study.
20 participants will be identified during routine clinical care visits with the study PI or co-investigators. Consent will be obtained in person during a clinic visit or using the e-consent process described in section 21.1. They will be asked to use the myCircadian Clock (mCC) app to document their dietary intake for the duration of their radiation treatment. No follow up data will be collected.

Arms & Interventions
Mobile Food Record
Participants will use the myCircadian Clock (mCC) app to document all dietary intake throughout the course of their radiation therapy.
Intervention: Mobile food record using myCircadian Clock app (Behavioral)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Feasibility of completing mobile food record during radiation therapy
Time Frame: Throughout the course of radiation therapy, which can last from 1 to 35 business days.
Investigators hypothesize that it is feasible for patients undergoing radiation therapy to comply with completing a mobile food record. Feasibility is defined as 75% of the participants completing the dietary intake on at least 80% of the days that they are undergoing radiation therapy.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
