I don't know if anyone else does this. But, I have found that by planning my meals a few days ahead... Has helped me stay on track & accountable for what I eat. It also HELPS me make sure I am getting all the vitamins and nutrition I need. That way I KNOW I am eating healthier.

Maybe I am silly for doing that... OR for POSTING this. But I thought maybe sharing this could help someone else too.

Hope that's ok.

    I think that's absolutely a great idea and the best way to stay on track!! Some people will probably benefit from hearing that people do this and how they (you) get it done!

    I agree. I typically plan our family dinners consistently and am pretty boring in my breakfast selections, so I usually add both breakfast and dinner to my diary in the morning so I can plan the perfect lunch and snacks as a balance. It also helps me formulate how much of a workout I need (for the extra calories).

    It helps me too.

    I also log my exercise before I do it on those days when I don't do it right away. People on MFP congratulate me on the burn so I think, well I can't disappoint them, and off to exercise I go.

    I started doing the same thing and it has helped me. It takes me around 30 minutes to fall asleep once in bed. While waiting for slumberland, I upload everything I am going to eat the following day for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. I leave dinner open as I enjoy a bit of spontaneity :)
