Do you "pre-log"?

It's easier for me to pre-log my food. Most of my food is brought to work and I make it here so pre-lgging works great.
Exercise, however, I do not pre-log. I use a HRM to calculate calories burned more accurately.0 -
I try to prelog my breakfast, lunch, morning snack and afternoon snack because I am a teacher and I usually do not pull my phone out during the day ... at lunch i may adjust what i have already logged if needed and i do dinner at night when i decide what it is im going to actually cook.0

I do a basic pre-log of the upcoming day and try to stick by it as best I can. Usually there are some changes made the next day, but for the most part, it keeps me on track better than if I didn't pre-log at all.0

I like to have a plan.0

Having a smart phone helps a lot with it (love my Galaxy s3 )
I love mine, too!! That big screen makes is so much easier to see the app.0 -
PRE LOG! It's the only way I can hit my calorie goals and macros.0
-
I tend to pre-log the night before but I'm not OCD about sticking to it. If something changes then I'll just change it in my diary when I get a chance0
-
I log in before then if i dont follow up i change what ever needs to be changed
I like to pre log tho because it keeps me more on track when its planned already0 -

A little of both. For work, I pack my food the night before and log it all in. I also pre-log breakfast when I do overnight oats- can't wait to wake up for that delicious food!0

Depends on a day but I always plan what to eat day earlier anyway, even if I don't put it in my diary.0
-
I have started to log at the start of the day that way I know what I have to spend.0
-
I usually log my food for the day sometime in the morning before lunch and dinner. I think it helps keep me on my plan. I feel bad if I have to go back in and edit because I ate something "extra."0
-
it depends for me on how out of control i'm feeling. i am recovering from an eating disorder so pre-logging is 'easier' for me, especially if i feel like i'm starting to get into unhealthy ground. That said i try not to pre-log because i am really trying to develop a better relationship with food and eating what i'm hungry for when i'm hungry for it (within reason of course).0
-
I pre-log and then adjust it as I go. I'm super obsessive so I feel weird if I don't pre-log.0
-
I normally record as I go. I use to pre-log when I lived at college and cooked my own food, to help me stay on track and know when I can snack on something else with friends.0
-
I usually have a back log0
-
Most times, I log all the things I want to eat ahead of time. It allows me to control my porton size and quantity. At the end of the day I can make minor adjustments. It works out well because I get to see how many calories I would consume and make necessary adjustments.0
-
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.
^^ This is what I do too.0 -
i pre log all of my protein so i make sure i get enough, i log the rest of my foods as i go0
