Committing to prelogging?

brb_2013

I prelog a day in advance or the morning of to help me figure out what I need to bring with me from home, I stick to that because it's the food we paid for and that's it. No substitutions unless something awful happens to the food I packed. I opened my hard boiled eggs yesterday to find disgusting rubbery yolks and tossed them, but I went and bought ready cooked eggs from the store because that was the plan. Idk, without a plan I feel lost. I worry about what I can eat. With a log telling me what to have there's no stress and I just don't buy or log foods I don't like.

But I have always meal planned, at least for dinners. The amounts are tentative until I eat, but logging dinner in the morning helps me make room during the day for the amounts I want to have. For example tomorrow is a special dinner of kraft macaroni and cheese because we are slowly eating up all the foods with dairy and gluten in the house. To make room for that I will likely need to avoid my granola bar snacks that are heavy in carbs. Pre logging my food helps me see where to make changes to make a bigger bowl of Mac fit into my calories.
