    It's just something I do. I want to lose weight, don't I? Then that's what I have to do. I weigh it, log it, then eat it.

    I eat basically the same thing for bkfast and lunch during the week so it is really easy to use the recent food and log my food. I pre log my food the night before, some times two days or so in advance. The weekends are the only times I might log as I go, but I try to plan them out at least somewhat. I find that the planning of my food helps me lose weight even more than the logging. I get into trouble when I decide what to eat when I'm already hungry, or at a restaurant, or drinking ;)

    I also have the reminders set on mfp to alert me if I haven't logged my lunch meal by 2pm.

    I prelog whatever I am taking to work for lunch. All meals at home, I log as I eat it. I save a few calories for snacks at night and have a pretty good idea of what my foods are to begin with, so I don't feel the need to prelog everything. If my food was more calorific than I had expected, I get a smaller snack that night.

    If I know what I'm going to eat the next day, I'll log it the day before. My breakfast is normally the same every day. If not, I log while I eat, or right after. It's second nature to me now.

    I log as I go. I log my breakfast first thing in the morning at my desktop, log on my cell phone while I am out for the day, and finish logging before I go to bed. I sync all devices.

    Almost exactly what I do! I do pre-log when I want something like a yam if it's at the end of the day so I don't go over. Helps me to decide how much I really want that yam.

    I'm going to have to check out this bar code stuff y'all are talking about.
