    i log my weeks worth of lunch and dinner as i shop and plan my menu for a week. my snacks during the week at work are always the same and add in my breakfast in the morning while eating and add any extras at the end of the day with my exercise.

    I log right before I eat, I'm logging and planning as I'm prepping that particular meal---breakfast and lunches only.

    Dinner, I then plan immediately after lunch is eaten and logged, making allowances here and there for calories remaining.

    After each meal or snack I log.

    for the most part, I try to log before I eat. That way I know how many calories I will be consuming and adjust if need-be. It works well for me and keeps me from overeating with my usual excuse that I don't know how bad it is for me. :)

    Sometimes I will check before I decide what to eat, but I usually count the calories as I make each meal so I know I'm not going over when I sit down to eat and log. :)

    Before I eat. If I log after I end up going way over. If I log before I know that I need to trim it down a bit. This is especially important for me when we have holiday parties, picnics, etc... I don't want to be surprised after I'm done for the day. I actually logged food during a wedding reception once. I saw what people had on their plates from the buffet and started calculating it. "I can add this, this, and this....no that will put me over. How about this, this and this with two glasses of wine? Ok, that works but a slightly smaller portion...."My husband thought I was crazy, but I didn't go over that day. And I'm down from a size 16 to a 4 since January. I think logging works really well.

    I pack my breakfast, lunch and dinner in the morning. And log it all by 9 am.

    I log at the end of the day, since I don't eat that much it's easier to remember what it is :)

    I have to log after every meal or snack, otherwise, I forget or get into the "out of sight out of mind" mode and end up going OVER my calories...which then makes me throw in the towel and have a bad snack.
