How do YOU post?

I pre-log each day the night before, or sometimes the next morning (before eating anything) if I was too lazy to do it the night before. I know exactly what's in my fridge and I'm the cook in my house, so I can fill it exactly the way I like it.

For those that log days in advance - how do you know exactly how much your ingredients will weigh? Even if I have a salad I need to weigh my lettuce and tomatoes etc. If I make a sandwich I weigh the butter as it goes on the bread and it's never exactly the same amount. How do you do it?

Weigh everything while I cook, log before or after I eat. I usually only do 2 meals a day, one small and one large. Occasionally I add a snack or two along the way. Rarely do I come close to calories, let alone over, so I don't really have to be that careful unless it's something unusual, like going to a family thing or a restaurant.

I prelog weeks in advance and just make adjustments as I prep certain things. When I make recipes I just input the highest amount I would use and make adjustments if needed.

I log as I go, but before I put anything on the plate.

Meaning I plan my meal, but then I log to figure out "do I want 6 oz of steak tips, or 4 oz?". Once I log it, I weigh it out and consume.

I prelog the week...typically Monday morning to Friday lunch. I will prelog some of the weekend as well depending on what is going on.

I sit down on Sunday and start logging. My breakfasts are typically the same all week so that's easy I just copy a meal I made. Same with snacks.

My lunches are typically leftovers from the night before and my evening meal is planned based on what groceries I have bought on Saturday.

To answer this question if my meal says 5 grams of butter that's what I eat, for example on my toast in the morning. I get a container for work and put it on my scale and weigh out 5 grams of butter. If I have logged 100grams of lettuce that is what goes in the bowl.

I tried logging as I ate...didn't work as I would typically go over.

I tried logging day by day but it's not me...I am a planner so this suits my personality.

Keeping in mind if I don't feel like leftovers or there are none and that was my plan I am flexible and can come up with something else.
