    During the week I do. I take my lunches and snacks, so I enter it all the night before so I can plan what my dinner will be during the day. I usually take similar stuff so I usually have a good idea of how many cals I'm eating.

    I do that too, It helps me figure out how much can I eat for that meal.

    I am just not this organized. I never know what I am going to eat till I am faced with the decision. However, I have not went over calories as of yet and if I am close I will do a bit of dancing just to bring it down. If I planned out my food I prob wouldnt want it after all anyway... sigh....

    I find this happens to me planning weekly menus but not if I plan in the morning for the rest of the day. I will look forward to it.

    I did when I started. It gets easier to judge after a while.

    I plan my day every morning when I log in my breakfast. It has been great so much better than weekly menus. By the time the end of the week would get here I would not want what I had planned. This way I get what I want and look forward to it all day. :-)

    must be working! look how well you have done!!! congrats!!!
    Thanks it is but I have a long way to go. Day by day and step by step......or oz by oz LOL

    I have to pre-plan (i have up to Sunday in my diary already), it helps me stick to my goals and i know what i need to buy over the next few days. In the past one of my mistakes was buying too much fresh food and then over eating rather than waste it.

    I put in all my meals in the morning, I already know what's for dinner all week, we have 5 kids so if we didn't do a weekly dinner menu groceries would cost a fortune. So I pack my breakfast and my lunch and put it all in as soon as I get to work, that way I know whether or not I get dessert!
