I'm just wondering how people do that, & manage not to eat for the rest of the day! I mean it seems like a lot of people on here will complete their diary between 3-5 which I think is crazy! Aren't you guys hungry later? Maybe you go to bed early? I usually go to bed at 1am, but I don't get done with my diary til a little before midnight! How do you manage?!!

    I occasionally log it early if i know i'm not going to be able to log on but i eat it later. Maybe that's what some others are doing too. I imagine that kind of timing it'd be someone who is only able to log while at work.

    I know that some ppl log everything they will eat for the day and then close it out. I will sometimes do that if I know I am not able to log in for the rest of the day.

    Maybe they have the rest of the day's meals already planned.
    Or maybe they are in a whole different part of the world, and their day had finished already - time zones, remember!!

    Yeah, I pre-log a lot of the time, when I already know what I'm planning on eating for lunch/dinner/snacks. Saves me having to log in a bunch of times, and it also helps discourage me from cheating later on in the evening.

    I am not usually finished but I can't resist pushing the 5 week prediction button based on several variables (ie, with dessert or not, with an extra helping of dinner, or can I afford that sweetened coffe after dinner?). And if I am going to a restaurant i try to pre log everything to make sure it won't go over.

    I try and plan my meals in the morning or night before. Most of the time I know what I am having for dinner and if I do. I can actually complete it as early and before noon. Although, it can be subject to change throughout the day. Lol
    I would think that is why they complete their diary so early.

    Yeah, they're probably in different time zones. Some of my friends on here are in Europe so they're closing their daily diary when I'm waking up. But every once in awhile I will eat so many calories early in the day and I might stop eating after 3, like you said. I just don't do it every day or I'd be tired all night.

    It's just up to the individual and what works better for him or her. I pre plan my meals if possible. It helps me to not eat over eat. I've even planned meals an entire week ahead of time. I don't do that too often now that I eat to maintain but I do still log ahead as much as 2 days at a time.

    I'm in Australia but normally wrap up around 7pm once i've logged dinner.
