New thing I am trying

I've been on here for about 2 weeks and so far am pretty good on logging my food. No dramatic weight loss yet but I probably lost about a pound.

So the new thing I am trying is to log my dinner on my train ride home, before I make it. That way I don't make any spontaneous unhealthy choices. Is anyone else doing this, and are you having success with it?

    I plan my whole week in advance on MFP and then I cook/prep most of it on Sundays for the week. It helps a lot and I don't have to worry about what to eat and recording it during the week. I still deviate here and there from the plan but if I didn't have a plan it would be much worse.

    I have certainly done that in the past and it does work - as long as you stick to the plan. If you've planned for 150g of steak/chicken/pork/tofu/whatever and then the piece is actually 172g you should update your log, or put the extra 22g on some else's plate / take it for lunch tomorrow and log it that way.
    But short answer, you absolutely can operate this way.
