Do you "pre-log"?

i pre-log if i know what i'm gonna have or if i'm making a decision i pre-log to see how many calories are in a certain thing so i can adjust if needed

A little of both. I like to.ore log so I know exact calories accounts but am flexible and sometimes I have to go back and make changes

I pre-log on days that I go to work. I bring my dinner and snacks with me and log them all in advance. Since I can only eat what I've packed, I know I won't go over and the worst that can happen is I have to delete something if I didn't eat it.

My wife says it's been my new obsession for the past few months... She's not that far off.

I pre-log all the time, not always, but almost.

When I make my lunch for the next day (or for the day if I make it in the morning) I pre-log it and re-adjust during the day, after the fact.

When I'm making supper, I pre-log it so I have a good idea of just what a portion should work out to. (though, after a few months, it's pretty natural, it still helps -- I don't use recipes and it's good to say 'ok, a little lighter on the olive oil' or something like that)

Snacks, I don't pre-log -- those are harder to predict.

You'll find that after a few months, things just kinda work out and you know what's going to happen, might as well pre-log

YMMV.

I tried that a couple of time but had to adjust afterwards, so I stopped pre-logging and just doing it as I go. Having a smart phone helps a lot with it (love my Galaxy s3 )

Good point

during the week, i make my food for work the next day and pre log it...then I can pre-plan my supper for the next day...on the weekends I log as I go....

I do a little bit of both. I log what I want to eat that day and then I correct it as I go if I have to change something. My planning doesn't always line up with what I'm doing that day! I don't submit it until the end of the day though.

sometimes. Usually I add water intake for the next day after finishing the day.

I pre-log so to know what I have to work with as I go about my day. If something changes I adjust the diary

This! I try to pre-log my day every morning and then make adjustments as the day wears on.

If I'm wanting to eat out or treat myself, I log it before hand.
That way I can make sure that it fits into my calorie allowance for the day!
If it doesn't, then I take it off and tomorrow is another day.

I have really found myself prelogging more and more as I go on. I do my dinners for the whole week once I have my menu set. I have the same pre workout/breakfast every day as well so that gets logged at the start of the week as well. Then, I usually plan my lunches and snacks the day before based off of left overs or what I have on hand. I also log my exercise weekly.

Now, sometimes I have to change things around, but I do seem to stick to it pretty well. By knowing what my dinners are a week ahead, I can make sure my lunches and snacks fit well with them calorie wise. I can make sure it all adds up correctly.

One reason I have decided to do this is because of how tight my schedule is going to get once classes start back up. I don't want to be wasting time I don't have, especially when it comes to packing my dinner for between my workout class and my actual class (1hr break). If I know what I am packing ahead of time, I can do it in no time and be out the door.

I do pre log and am pretty good with sticking to it. This works better for me. I am a "planner" by nature, lol
:happy:

I usually do pre-log. It allows me to see what my whole day would look like so I can make adjustments beforehand. For example, if my sodium is too high, I'll look and see what I can lose or change to get it down to where I'd like it to be.

I do not log the day ahead but I also do not eat anything that is not logged beforehand, so my one rule, If i have not logged it I do not eat it
