Does it matter how you log your food?

Sometimes I just find it easier to make sure my food is logged in rather than making sure it goes into a particular category. For example, if I eat an English mufffin after work I'll just log it in under breakfast because it's already there for me. Also, I'm a huge grazer so a lot of times I'll just stick foods into the closest meal (time-wise). Sometimes I wonder if I should pay more attention to these things and then other times I just assume that calories are calories so it doesn't necessarily matter when I'm eating them.

    Technically, no, it doesn't matter.

    Over time, you might want to have a better idea of when you're eating in case you need to rethink your eating plan.

    Calorie/weight wise I'd say no it doesn't matter. But if there ever comes a time when you need to figure out where you are "going wrong" it would be beneficial to know the times of day you are grazing more.
