    During a working day, I log the food I eat at work as I am eating it or I can easily forget what I have had. My evening meal I log after I have eaten it, however if I am coming to the end of my calories, then I will log before eating it to see if I am going to go over. I will then make adjustments.

    With you being up for 30+ hours maybe logging as you go will work?!? that way you don't have to wait for a long time or miss any entries. Think it is just a matter of getting into a habit.

    Good luck!

    I log from midnight to midnight. I am a nightshift worker, so my sleep hours are inconsistent too, midnight to midnight works the best for me.

    this is what I've been doing, it helps to keep it consistent for me, even though I might not go to sleep for several more hours, and I don't have to think about "is this from today, or for tomorrow. I keep it for whatever I eat on that date, some times it ends up being weird where I'll have eaten a good portion of the days calories before I actually go to sleep at 7 or 8 am. I was just wondering what peoples thoughts on this were

    I log as I go on my phone to keep myself honest. Before dinner, I know what I have left for the day. Good luck!

    I complete my entry when i know I'm done eating for the night.

    This sometimes I have to go back and log when I forget stuff or have to have that extra glass of wine. Somedays it's after midnight.

    I have my diary entries setup for time blocks (instead of the default Breakfast, Lunch, etc) because my schedule is pretty crazy, too. I will often need to eat something around 3 or 4 am and go to bed around 6 or 7.

    Sometimes I hit the "complete" button at the end of the current day (midnight) but most of the time I don't even click it at all.
