Planning ahead

pammye65

I was thinking about going ahead and finishing my Food Diary for the day and then Using that as a guideline for the day. If I already know what im going to eat and then going by that schedule, It may help to stay on track that way too. What do you think?

I always preplan my meals. I plan the night before! This way, I'm able to see exactly what my calories are and if I have room to sneak more food in! It's totally beneficial! Plus, by doing it the night before, I'm able to input recipes too!

I do this as much as possible! I try to plan out everything I will eat for the day the night before. Sometimes I will plan my meals a few days ahead if I know I'm going to be eating certain leftovers, going out to a specific restaurant, etc. It helps me stay on track for sure!

I'm most successful when I do the same.

I pre-plan my meals during the week(usually the day before). It helps me see what I'm eating, whaere I can make changes, and what I need to pack since my time is so limited. I say do it! Just don't close it out until the end of the day just incase you make changes...

I've been doing this for a few weeks (except weekends, usually). It's time-consuming but works really well for me. I end up looking foward to eating what's planned instead of developing random cravings for things I "shouldn't" have. Good luck!

yep, I agree with all of the above, I find pre planning my food diary for the day beneficial, it helps me to know what I'm going to be eating and I like to fiddle around and try to get a good balance and the most from my calories. It really does help keep those random cravings away too!
