    I pre-track my breakfast and lunch in the morning most of the time during the week. I very rarely eat before I track, even if I'm tracking it right before I put it in my mouth.

    Usually right after the meal....but sometimes not tip the end of the day. Its easy to forget stuff that way though.

    Usually the night before so that I know what I am eating for meals.

    I log as I go, usually before I eat the food so if that item will put me over in any way I can make a better choice. I have also started pre-logging and planning out my meals and snacks for the next day. It really helps to keep me on track.

    I think if you wait until the end of the day it is way too easy to forget what you've had and/or over eat and you won't know until it's too late.

    Good luck.

    Right after I eat. If I wait, I'll forget!

    Usally at the end of the day, but sometimes directly after eating.

    Breakfast, lunch and any snacks are pretty small, so i log them when i eat them, or as im eating them... supper i log as a recipe, because i make entire meals for my family.. this way i can use portion control and everyone in my family gets proper portions and eats the proper amounts... if anyone wants more, they eat fresh fruit, more veggies or a salad! House rules!!! lol

    I almost always pre-track my meals. I set my goals for the meals at 300/breakfast, 500/lunch and 700/dinner. This way I can "get" the most out of my meals with out going over.

    I try to log as I eat, although, if I know exactly what I am ingesting for breakfast (which is usually the same each morning) I'll pre-log. I try VERY hard to not leave logging til later (unless I am in a situation where staring at my phone would be considered rude - at a dinner party say) as I will almost certainly forget.

    I am still learning which foods are worth the calories, so choosing a new snack or meal can take me a long time, but once I find what I want I log it and eat it straight away.

    I am a most forgetful person LOL

    I have only one rule and it has worked well for me. RULE#1 Never never never eat anything before it is logged. if you do this you will not go over by accident EVER

    I put my breakfast and lunch in as I'm eating them which is easy since I always have one of three things, and then I'll calculate a few options for dinner before I start cooking and decide which one I like best. Dinner takes me a lot longer to figure out since I always have something different and a lot of the time I have to input it ingredient by ingredient.

    I try to pre plan so that I can make changes if I feel the need.

    I post right before, during, or immediately after eating. I'm kinda forgetful.
