    I always plan my meals. Once a week (grocery day), I look through the sale papers and figure out what's on sale. Then I plan my menu for the week (dinners) according to that. And lunches are usually leftovers from the previous night's dinner. Or if I'm making something that I know I won't have leftovers of the next day, I do a frozen dinner or spinach salad. I actually put everything in MFP first thing in the morning. This way, I know how many calories I have to play with for snacks throughout the day. It's really working well for me.

    I always plan my meals. I used a combination of the Eating Well meal plans along with the 50 Million Pound Challenge meal plans. Planning helps me see in advance what I will be eating and I can prepare accordingly. I've found that if I dont plan, I end up screwing up at some point.

    I do! I love it because I dont have to worry about "what's for dinner/lunch" I usually have some sort of a sandwich and a small salad and some rice cakes. Dinner is usually salmon, a pork chop, or a hamburger and a vegetable and once a week Ill have eggs and toast and bacon =)

    I usually try to log in everything I plan to eat for the day in the morning when I get to work and I leave it up throughout the day so I have an idea if I am able to add any items I might want.. like an extra snack or something. It helps keep me on track.
  • Yes and no. I have different options for every meal so I can eat what I want too. The meals aren't made but everything I need is in the house, i just have to decide what I really want. The trick is to not buy junk food. If you don't have it ,you can't eat it. Unless you're willing to make an extra trip to get the ice cream, cookies, donuts, ect ... to the store and I'm not.
  • I eat twice a day. I usually plan my lunch since I'll be taking it to work with me, but I make food choices for dinner when I get home from work.
