When do you log / close diary?
Hey guys !
I was just curious as to when everyone logs their food. Do you plan the day ahead and log it all before the day begins? Or in real time? Or at the end of the night?
I see a few people close their daily food diary as early as 10am and every time I have ever tried that something else pops up that I want to eat and I have to change it all around so that method doesn't work for me. If I make my diet so planned out I'm pretty much not likely at all to eat what I've planned. I'll think " But I REALLY don't want Fish tonight and I've budgeted everything else around it and now I'm stuck as its the only low calorie meal I have in the house! "
I tend to do everything in real time and sometimes don't close a diary until the day after when I know everything is certain.
I can also be found in Morrisons most days scanning all sorts of **** with my phone. Huddled up in the corner of the aisles trying to stay out of everybody's way!

I never close it. I just log and move on to the next day.0

If I'm home I log as I get ready to eat. If I'm at work I log when I get home. The diary gets closed/finished out before I go to bed.0
