Don't feel like logging so I push off eating

I am the opposite...if I am going to do excess snacking, then I have to log everything. You can always pre-log your meals each day by copying the meal for the next day and the day after that. I basically have the same thing each day with a few variations that need to be changed or added

You guys are acting like she's saying she doesn't log her food, shes's saying she puts off eating until she feels like logging, two very different things.

I heard that lots of people pre-log their day, so I started trying it. I love doing it now. Because I'm bulk cooking my meals, and then logging them, I can make everything fit into my cals and macros.

That never seems to stop me from changing my mind halfway thru the day. And sometimes I'll eat half my breakfast for a snack, or flipflop and eat my dinner for lunch, and lunch for dinner.

To clarify why I said use a different system rather than just waiting to eat because you don't want to log.

Usually that ends up causing people to be more hungry then they really need to be - thereby eating more than they need - when you finally get around to eating.

So it would be better to eat either some known amount or one of those systems going by container size. Can't recall the name now.

But also having about 3-4 different breakfasts, 4-5 lunches, and 5-7 different dinners - makes it easy. Those can be written out, or in your recipe builder as a meal basically - and just added in one fell swoop when you happen to eat that one. Several common snacks too.

Most people I've found if they review back over normal eating habits - don't have much variety anyway, unless it's getting a different burger at Wendy's when they go through.
So while those different meal counts may sound small, the number of options available within a week is plenty of variety.

Making some of those meals ahead of time makes it easier too as some said, even beyond pre-logging them.

Just confirm with scanning that the database nutrition stats have kept up with the real world.
All my yogurts I used to eat changed 2 x since I started.

Manufacturers rarely change their SKU for an item, but will change the size, content, low fat low suger ect of the makeup, and resulting calories.

I used to not eat a lot because I just didn't feel like making food. I hate cooking and food preparation, and when I looked in the pantry I wouldn't see anything to eat, I'd just see "ingredients." And no idea what to do with them. So I wouldn't eat until my husband got home and made dinner (and then I'd eat more than enough calories for the day, because I was starving, and that's how I got fat).

What I like to do is eat the same basic meals over and over. I eat the same breakfast every day, two different kinds of snacks, and then maybe 4 or 5 different lunches. Each of these things is saved as a "meal" here on MFP, so all I have to do is add the meal and the adjust the amounts if necessary. For some things, like cottage cheese, I always measure out exactly 113 grams (1 serving) when I prepare it, so it's always the same. For other things, like chicken breast, I weigh it and then adjust my entry. I even have a meal saved for my coffee, with the amount of half & half and sugar that I like to add.

The only meal that ends up actually taking any time to figure out and log is dinner, because the husband and kids like a variety. But even then, I save things as recipes and then if I make it again, I can just adjust the amounts to be accurate.
