    I either log right before i eat or log the whole day ahead of time if i know what I'm going to eat already

    I plan the next day the night before and adjust with what I actually eat throughout the day. Today, I planned a snack that I didn't eat, so I just deleted that. I ate extra bread with dinner and added that.

    I try to come up with a menu the night before and log my foods.

    I have the app on my phone, so convenient.

    I batch cook a lot of stuff and freeze in portions, each batch is saved as a recipe on here.

    As I take dinner out of the freezer I log it, that way I know what I have left for the day.

    Well I started out doing it meal by meal but I prefer to do it a day on advance. Makes it easier the dinner that I cook the night before is also packed for my lunch the next day (or put in the freezer for later in the month)

    It depends. I'm faithful about logging, but it could be right after I am finished eating or sometimes 24 hours in advance.

    Usually as I eat. Right before or right after - otherwise I forget what I eat.

    Usually after breakfast during the week, I know what my planned lunch and dinners are, so I go ahead and log all those at once, but then go back to add in any snacks I may have during the day. Those I don't plan exactly what I will be having.

    I tend to log it all in the morning and change as I go along if required

    I check what the calories and such are before eating but I don't actually log until after I eat. I find its easier to remember what I've eaten if I do it as I eat.

    I log my food in every morning for the whole day, this way I know what calories I have left and because I've planned it, it stops me reaching for other foods and keeps me on track xx

    Night before or first thing in the morning so I know what I need and how much I can have. Keeps me on track with my macros too.

    I plan my lunch and dinner and log them, then log snacks as I go :)
    (Shhh, I know there's no mention of breakfast there, I work 12 hour shifts and if I eat early I feel sick, so I usually grab something like a banana while I work!)

    I usually log as I go unless I'm busy or have a packed lunch.

    I log as soon as I have eaten it...no, if ands or buts about it. Waiting too long and you increase your chances of forgetting and then the calories dont SNEAK up on you!
