A peptide log template is a structured record of events. At its simplest, it keeps the compound name, date, time, recorded amount, and unit together. Optional fields can add context without turning a quick entry into a chore.
Download the blank peptide log template (CSV). There is no email form. Open it in your preferred spreadsheet application, or use the field list below to make a paper log.
Keep planned entries separate from recorded events
A reminder for Friday is a plan. A log saying what happened on Friday is history. Mixing the two can leave you unsure whether a filled-in row represents an intention or an event.
The template therefore has separate scheduled and recorded dates and times. If you are only recording history, leave the scheduled fields blank. An empty recorded time means the record is incomplete; it should not silently become “taken.”
Use a consistent date format, such as YYYY-MM-DD, and include a time zone when travel or records from several devices could make timing ambiguous. This is a formatting choice, not a schedule recommendation.
The fields, explained
| Field | What belongs there |
|---|---|
| Plan reference | A short identifier that distinguishes separate routines |
| Compound name | The name as it appears in your existing instructions |
| Scheduled date and time | What the existing plan said was due, if relevant |
| Recorded date and time | When the event actually happened |
| Amount and unit | The entered number and its original unit, kept together |
| Route as instructed | The form or route from your existing instructions, if relevant |
| Site, if applicable | A consistent description of the location you recorded |
| Vial reference | Your own label for linking a record to a vial |
| Status | A label you define clearly, such as planned, recorded, or not taken |
| Notes | Factual context, uncertainty, or a correction |
The download is a blank column structure. It has no formulas, doses, schedules, clinical rules, or built-in reminder behavior.
Preserve the wording of units
Avoid a bare number in a dose column. A number without a unit becomes hard to interpret later. Keep instructions or source notes close to the record, and do not reconstruct a missing unit from memory.
Unit confusion is a documented issue: the FDA has reported errors involving milligrams, milliliters, and syringe “units” in compounded semaglutide. Its advice is to clarify measurement instructions with the healthcare provider or compounder. A template cannot perform that clarification. FDA safety alert.
Make corrections visible
If you find an incorrect time, correct it and add a note explaining the change. If you cannot remember whether an event happened, record that uncertainty rather than filling the gap with a guess. Your log is more useful when its limits are visible.
For several compounds, use the plan-reference field consistently and filter the table by that reference. The multiple-schedule guide explains how to retain a combined overview without merging separate plans.
When a template is enough
A spreadsheet is a reasonable place to begin if you mainly need a portable record and are comfortable maintaining it. Store it somewhere appropriate for personal health information and check sharing permissions before sending a copy.
If you also want reminders, a daily view, and injection-site history linked to your logs, a dedicated tracker may fit better. Compare an app with a spreadsheet, or see Jabful.
This is a record-keeping template, not a dosing guide. It does not tell you what to take, how much to take, or when.
For a simple mass-unit check, use the mg to mcg converter. It does not convert syringe units or choose an amount.
