Best way to log food and exercise information?

I use tha app on my phone after each exercise session. I walk then I enter it and if I do cardio later I just enter it then.

I log as I go. If I wait until later I always forget something. It is pretty convenient because I can do it from my laptop or my phone. Make sure you log everything....like condiments.

Honestly, I work at home, so I can do it throughout the day, but my recommendation would be if you have a cell and can get the app use that, if not write it all down, and log it in at the end of the day. Before they had this terrific site, when I lost my weight after my daughter I carried the calorie king calorie book which is still great because it lists all the restaurant calories and such, and I had a notebook with my calculator, and lost about 80 lbs. Now they have this great site, so as long as it is logged is what is important. Hope this helps.:bigsmile:

Log as I go or EVEN BETTER ahead of time if I know what I am having. Logging ahead seems to cement in my mind NOT to go over. Sometimes I logging ahead to help to plan my dinner.... and sometimes what I thought I would eat is too much, so I adjust before I even get tot he table.

Now that I have been doing it for four months, I have a pretty good feel for what I can and can't eat if I am not at home, or have not planned. I never would have been successful at the beginning of my wieght loss journey if I had waited until the end of the day to log. I would have overeaten everyday!

I plan my day as I'm eating breakfast and then make adjustments as I go... but I have easy access at work and home.

I normally log as I go. I already have an idea of what I'm going to eat because I preplan my meals. Like today I already logged everything I intend to consume. When I add my exercise later it will all average out.

I don't know how long you've been at it but normally you tend to gravitate towards certain foods on the regular so logging will become easy in time.

I preplan and log everythi8ng in the morning. This way I can account for things later in the day or add things if I must (like yesterday I got to have peanut butter with my apple because I was low on calories). I find preplanning and prelogging helps keep me on track because I don't want to go back through and change it. Same with exercise if I log it in the morning I feel like I "have" to do it in the afternoon.

I log as much as I can in the morning after I've planned my day and then I use the app on my phone to add unexpected things BEFORE I eat them. There's a rule people here like to tell me, enter before you eat-regret doesn't burn calories. lol

I have a desk job so I am able to do it throughout the day, but I tend to pre-plan and log in the morning. This also helps make me stick to the plan, since it's already been logged. A lot harder to justify skipping that workout when I've already posted it.
