    I tried prelogging for a while, but would so often end up eating something else that I had to go back and change what I entered. So I log as I go now. Works best for me.

    I will always pre log, sometimes a week at a time, which is a great help when doing a weekly shop too! It really helps me to stop going over my calories, and i always save room for a dessert/snack.

    I pre-log the entire day in the morning when hubby is sitting down to breakfast (I don't eat breakfast, maybe brunch on the weekends). When I enter his food, I enter mine too. Since I'm cooking dinner, I know what's on the menu in the early morning. This helps me meet my macros every day and really reduces stress. For me, if it's logged, it's practically written in stone. I know what I'll eat portion-wise, but I adjust the amounts once I'm prepping it.

    I do not prolog my days. But I do my menu planning and grocery shopping on Mondays so I know what my week generally looks like. I've been thinking of doing this more to see if it can help as sometimes I snack too much during the day so I don't have very many calories left for dinner. I hate those days!

    Yes! Pre-logging my meal and exercise works so well for me (along with IF). It also helps with menu planning and shopping :) Also, I am a lot less likely to skip a work-out. That has become such a no-no for me.

    All these people prelogging meals and nobody getting notifications from MFP saying they haven't logged their meal yet?

    Is this glitch fixed?

    Haven't seen that glitch on the android side for a while now.
    If I prep or pack my breakfast or lunch, I pre-log that the day before. Gives me a good idea of how much room I have and macro balance. A full day isn't flexible enough for me personally.

    I'm also trying to cut the food budget so have become very organised at writing out meal plans and lists for shopping! I prelog all meals and snacks for the day in the morning. I can easily change something if I need to. This helps me stick to meals instead of doing something else, potentially going over calories or wasting food. Something I also hate to do!

    I don't prelog, but I'm beginning to notice my "breakfasts" are usually in a calorie range of 500-700, my multiple course lunch is usually around 1100+ and another multiple course 1100+ calories for dinner. There are definitely days these numbers change.
