    I log as I go...I tried pre-logging, but found I made too many alterations, so it was actually more work! :) Whatever works for you as long as you are accountable for what goes in! :)

    I log breakfast and lunch in the morning when I eat breakfast, after I prepare it. Lunch I take to work is always leftovers from the previous night's dinner. I log dinner while I am cooking it and before I eat.

    I log as I eat. But I do plan out main meals for every day of the week in advance, I just don't log them before I'm done eating.
    I find that planing for the week in advance is great for keeping with balanced diet.

    I mix it up.

    Weekdays, I usually pack lunch as I'm making breakfast, so I'll log my breakfast, lunch, and any snacks I've packed all at one time. I log exercise after it happens. Then I know how many cals I have left for dinner/ evening snacks and I log as I eat them.

    Weekends are usually a bit more vague, so I log after I eat, but keep an eye on where I am throughout the day so I don't go too overboard in one sitting.

    I the same

    I log ahead when I can.. But I'm a control freak like that.. I like to be able to plan out my food. Some days I just eat on a whim, and I'm learning to be more okay with that.

    Pre log!! It makes it easier for me to stay on track! And like if I want something sweet or whatever, I'll log it before I eat it. If I don't like my stats, I won't eat it. Lol. So yeah :)

    I pre-log the basics so that I can add extras like cheese on a salad as exercise calories permit.

    I calculate the number of calories for each meal as I'm cooking, then log them right before I eat. I aim for about 300-500 calories per meal, leaving room for snacks as I go. I usually pre-log exercise, as it's harder for me to blow it off after it's posted, and I've accounted for the calories.
