Okay so I tend to not go to bed until between 2 and 4 a.m. I usually have the last bit of something to eat after midnight. Should my log still go from midnight to midnight, or from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep?
If that doesn't make since then here- if I eat at 2;30 am and go to bed at 4 a.m. should I count that meal as the same day or the next day? lately i have been counting it on the next days.

That is really for you to decide. I mean it makes sense that on the day you're eating you're logging. If it's past midnight it's the next day so just be consistent in logging it that way even though it doesn't necessarily feel like a new day to you.0

I log from when I wake up to when I go to sleep (I'm a bit of a night owl too). It's easier for me that way.. But it's whatever works for you.0

yeah i wanted to do that but my husband says its a new day no matter what lol and i said poor 3rd shifters must get aggrivated when logging theirs in that case haha. i told him that i should be able to just log it however is easiest for me since i eat around the same times every day it would still level out i think0

I think you're right in that it will all even itself out. I tend to be a night owl too, and I also eat a little something before bedtime which is usually after midnight. Even though it's after midnight, I do log it as that day and figure my "day" is from the time I get up to the time I go to bed.0

im like you I do midnight to midnight...my work schedule makes that easier for me...so my dinner is abt 1am...etc0

All I eat today will go under the 12th even though I'll be eating when it's technically the 13th later tonight. Being a night owl throws off what to categorize my meals under, hmmmm breakfast at 1pm lol0

Thanks everyone. Just thought I would get some insight. I usually log to whatever pops up when i click the food button, so if it is 12 15, i log it for the new day but i also know that i will be doing that every day lol. i just wanted to know some other views on it.
If any of you have your diaries open to your friends, feel free to add me, because I could always use friends that typically run on the same time frame as me! We can support each other!0
