Late Night Diner Trip - Where do you log it?

kaleas

So Ill admit that as a 22 year old college student, even when Im attempting Raw, or otherwise keeping a healthy body image, I still enjoy the late night diner trip. Sometimes this happens at midnight, during finals week with all nighters, it has been happening anywhere from 2 or 5am.

As someone who's counting calories, do you log them, and if so, where? I generally end up not logging them but keeping in mind what I ate and try to stay on the lighter side the next day. For example we went at midnight last night and I had a whole wheat pancake and half an order of side fries, probably 500 calories, putting me a little over my maintenance calories for the day.

I'd log them. I log everything. You can make your own mealtimes in your diary.. I have Breakfast, Morning Snack, Lunch, Afternoon Snack, and Dinner. You could add a "Late Night Snack" category.

If was not planned, I would log it as the next day's breakfast

This is usually what I do. Often when I consume late-night calories I'm already at my limit for the day, so it makes sense to log them for the next day and eat less then.

I end my day when I go to sleep, if you don't sleep then I guess around 2-3 am, about 24 hours before you'll go to sleep again

In my world this would fit in the "11pm and later" slot. And of course you log it.

some times I am awake in the night due to pain and sometimes I snack - I log midnight to midnight

my schedule is alot like yours... so I added a "Late Night" meal to the list at the bottom. I dont always use it, but its good for food later at night.
because of my schedule being skewed from staying up so late, even if its 2am, i put it down as "late night" on the "previous" day.. be sure to check the date.

I dont count a day as over until i go to bed.

Depends on the time.
I've waited some nights till midnight to eat something, so I could put it on the next day. lol

stuff as much into your mouth before midnight...then log it as today :flowerforyou:

I am a night owl as well and often eat late if I'm out by choice or necessity. I log in the same "day" that I'm awake -- whatever happens before I go to bed. I compensate by eating a little less by the next day, but I still track on the actual "day" I ate so I can remember later what happened when if I need to go through my log for whatever reason.

Thanks guys! I've decided to add a "late night" to my day instead of logging it for the next morning.
