So, anyone else who tracks a day or more in advance like me?

I just wanted to know if there are a lot or a few people who track their meals/food a day or two in advance so they won't go over their limit. I started doing that now because I was eating higher calorie meals that didn't keep me full and this way I can plan out 4 smaller meals or 3 meals and one larger snack, however you look at it.

yes, i totally prefer this! i don't stick to it completely but it gives me a much clearer idea and say, for example, i want to work in a treat (almost every day hehe), i can fit that in in such a way that i don't exceed my calorie intake. or if i want a heavier dinner, i can adjust my diary for a light lunch. it's also better because you don't have to think about it on the day and i always end up forgetting something on my weekly shop, so if i know i will eat blah blah blah on saturday, i can shop for those extra items and any point in between : ) oh, there are so many advantages; but yes, i do track a day or more in advance!

I do that occasionally if I know I'm taking something to work for lunch the next day or if we have plans to eat at a specific restaurant and I know what I'm getting in advance. Usually though my pre-logging is just done the morning of- planning out my day. I've also been known to log dinner at the grocery store while buying it- the phone app bar code scanner is great for that I just scan stuff as I put it in the cart lol.

I do the mostly since that gives a fair idea about our meals

I plan ahead and always leave 100-200 calories free so that I can slide in a cookie or small snack that I feel like having. And if I go over, I will squeeze in exercise or push harder on my exercise to burn more.

I plan in my head but don't log it, mainly because I will have more than what I've planned, albeit only arbitrary amounts.
I like logging food I've eaten instantly, in some demented way logging it down makes me feel fuller.

I log the night before for the next days breakfast, lunch and snacks, since I pack those to take to work with me. Dinner is the only meal I don't prelog because I don't always know I'm making.

I go as far in advance as I can. I usually pack my lunch, so I know what that's going to be, and if I know what dinner is, then I'll go ahead and log that in also. I feel it gives me an idea of where I'm headed for the day - and whether or not I can sneak in any extra chocolate! I don't usually go more than a day out, though. Things change too rapidly for me to go out any further than that. :happy:
