Do you "pre-log"?
Replies

I try to log as I go but if I I'm not able to I write it down and log when I've got computer access.0

I prefer to pre log the night before. I sit and think about what i am in the mood for and how to fit it in and what my day "should" be like workwise etc. I like to be prepared and then i have little chance of messing it up. If things change i will log them as i go or later on.0

I do it as a go generally, unless I want to see how what I will eat will affect my goals...0
-
I pre log my three main meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner). That way I know how many calories I have left for my three snacks.0
-
I pre-log, and then adjust when needed. Helps me stay "in-bounds" and know what I am missing.0
-
Nope, I never pre-log, because I usually don't plan out my meals very far in advance.0
-
I normally don't cause I'm always eating something different.
The only time to pre-log for me is when I have planned to eat at a restaurant or I'm aware of my evening snack.0 -
I plan out my meals in the morning... get it all logged, but don't hit "log" lol
If anything changes throughout the day I fix it... and post at night.0 -
I've done both, but I find that if I prelog, I'm less likely to give in to temptations. If I just go with the flow, I eat crap that I don't need to.0

Yes It's a way for me to stay focused and I also pre-log my exercise. It helps keep me motivated. I also helps me manage the foods I eat based on my exercise and goals.0

i plan out and pre log everything and try to stick to it and make adjustments as i go throughout the day. if i know i'm going out to eat at a restaurant before, i will research the menu & nutritional facts ahead of time and plan what i'm going to eat before i even step foot into the restaurant. it helps tremendously.0

I love to pre-log the night before or the morning of that way I can keep from going over my macros.0
-
I log my dinner the night before, cause I know what I'll be eating that night.0

A bit of both. My breakfast I decide in the morning. During the week I bring my lunch, so I prelog that. Since I typically cook supper and plan ahead of time, I will add that early as well. Helps me plan portions at supper, depending on what I have left. This may also spur a longer work out so I can eat more . I usually pre log my exercise too (I take a lot of classes at the gym) which helps me make sure my food is right. Before I started doing this, there were times after the gym (7:30 pm) I had 750 calories I needed to eat. Now my days are much more balanced.
On the weekends it can be a bit more "fly by the seat of my pants." But I make sure I log as I eat so I don't end up surprised.0 -
I have only been doing this a few days. But I have found that pre logging before I eat a meal helps me determine if I need to adjust what I'm eating.0

When I go to work, I fill my backpack with what I'm allowed to eat. I usually pre-log because I know everything in backpack will be eaten. If not, I'll delete it before I close out the day.0
-
I pre-log but I check in whenever I have a change.0
-
I've been pre-logging (I need a plan); then if something happens (forgot my lunch at home, woke up late, etc), I change the entry to match what I actually ate. I don't "complete" my food plan until the end of the day, when I'm done eating.0
-
I usually log as i go but some days i pre plan some meals.0
-
I pre-log when I pack my lunch for work so I don't forget. I can remove it when I get home if need be. The rest of the day I just go with the flow.0
