How many times have you eaten "AFTER" closing out your diary

Unfortunately, I have done this several times this month. And I did not enter the calories on the next days diary either.
I know, I know. I'm only cheating myself. And i'm gonna work at being more honest with this.

    I do sometimes but I usually (being the operative word) add it in for that day.

    Once or twice, but I log it. You can still add food after you've hit the "complete this entry" button.

    I don't close out my diary until I'm headed to bed... also keeps me more honest... because if I make the choice to eat something before bed, I can add it at the same time :)

    Your diary never actually closes. You can update and change any days entries anytime. So if you eat something, log it.

    I do sometimes! But if I do it's something small. Like tonight I had some carrots after I closed mine. I really don't care enough to go log it.

    I have done it, but I log it because I feel guilty if I don't!

    Yep, same here too, if I don't add it to that night I'll add it to the next day (especially because it tends to be after midnight). And like several people said, I try to wait untill I'm about to go to bed to close it out.

    I do that too.
    It's mostly midnight snacking!
    It's annoying. ;P

    I do it often but I always open it back up and enter in the cals I KNOW what I would do if i didnt log EVERYTHING.

    I do it all the time, but I log it even after I click complete. Sometimes I want to click complete to see what the "prediction" is for my weight loss. Since it is often late night snacking, I do tend to redistribute the calories to the two days to make them both under. But I figure this 24hr span of time is arbitrary anyway. We could be doing weekly calorie goals instead of daily.

    I do this nearly every day. I "complete" my diary usually after dinner, but I usually go back and have an evening snack. I always log it, though.

    I do it sometimes, but make sure I log it. Doesn't really make any difference if you have hit the "finish for the day" button.

    brush your teeth right after completing your entry for the day!

    i've definitely done it. but i usually revise and complete again, or add it to the next day.

    On the occasional sleepless night I will have a snack and go back and log it in. Sometimes I don't get back to the computer before bed to close my diary, so I just do it the next morning. No biggie, you just don't get the notification on your wall that you closed your diary for that date.
