I used to do this, but I realized it's not working for me. A lot of times, some other things happen like going out to dinner with friends or working late, and I can't stick to the menu. Instead, I try to make healthier choice among given alternatives, but I can't eat something I don't like eating. Then, I eat just half of what I order. For me, it's easier when I keep myself busy so I don't think of food much.

I don't log in the meals a day before but I am very organized and I make lists for everything. So I've been making a list of the meals I will be taking that day along with protein shakes, vitamins, workouts and water consumption. All this with the times right next to them. Something like this:
6am - Run/Jog 5 miles (16 oz of water)
7:30am - Vitamins and Breakfast (Usually cereal with non fat milk and fruit)
9am _ Zumba
9:30am - Snack (protein bar or shake)
12:30pm - Lunch with 32 oz of water
2:30pm - Snack (greek yogurt or fruit) with 16 oz of water
5:30pm - Dinner with 32 oz of water
7:30pm - Snack with 16 oz of water
I also put in my daily activities to make sure I get everything done. Then I cross everything out throughout the day as it gets done. Sometimes its hard to keep up but this has been working for me so far.
If you need to cook for the whole family you get to chose the ingredients you cook with, tag your family along on the habit to eat healthier.
I look for healthy recipes on Sunday night and make the grocery list for Monday. This way you know what you will be cooking is an okay.
