    I like to travel light, plan my day's calories ahead of time, and edit them on a whim. Having a cell phone app does the job well.

    I prelog my days and like to do that on the computer. If I'm out and something is finding it's way to my mouth, I use the phone app.

    Why? MFP does the math for me, and considering that I use a lot of foods that don't come with a barcode or nutrition info, I need the database.

    I can't imagine that a written diary would be accurate at all, especially as I almost never eat an exact serving of something.

    I like using them both, but I write the food down in my agenda book. That makes shopping easier for me.
