Food Diaries

What is everyone's title on their food diaries? I need some ideas for the titles on mine. It currently is: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks. I kind of want to change it a little bit, because I usually get hungry around seven or eight, but I don't exactly know where I want to put it (it usually ends up in snacks).

So, what are your suggestions and what works best for you? Thanks in advance! :flowerforyou:

And I forgot a question. If I change it, say tomorrow, is it going to say the new headings on the previous ones? :indifferent:

    I have Breakfast, AM Snack, Lunch, Afternoon Snack, Dinner, and PM Snack.

    I don't always eat all the snacks, but they're there for when I do.

    Seems like you got some good ideas on titles....

    To answer your other question, yes it does change the titles on your prior days (which I HATE!)

    I like when people have the food diaries so we can read and learn from what eachother has had to eat. Making a plea for all MFP to let us see your food choices.We're not here to judge but her to learn and help eachother, so SHOW YOUR FOOD LOL

    I played with mine, switching it up until it just felt right.

    Here's how mine goes


    Breakfast

    Post-Workout Snack

    Snack #2

    Lunch

    Snack #3

    Dinner and Snack #4

    I tend to eat more smaller meals and snacks over the course of the day so this is how it works best for me :-)

    Hope it helps!

    M1(Breakfast)
    M2
    M3(lunch)
    Shake Time --I mean protein shake not milkshake
    M5(Dinner)


    I'm supposed to have a M6 but I have not upped my calories yet.

    And yes it will change it on the old entries too. On my old entries I have my Breakfast under M1(Breakfast) then my lunch under M2, then my dinner under M3(lunch) and my snacks under Shake Time.
