Do you preplan daily calories, weigh in more than once a week?

Yesterday it was 6pm and I still had around 800 calories left for the day. A MFP suggested preplanning for the next day. Do any of you do this for calorie intake/macronutrients? Also, I see people posting loses often and wonder if you weigh in several times a week, post and if it's motivational for you.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

I weigh myself every day! Even if I'm down .2 lbs, I update! I don't preplan my calls but I eat very similarly every day so I do kind of know where I'll be at. I like eating more calories earlier in the day so I'm more satisfied and ding have to worry about eating too much later in the evening.1

Thanks for your response nbintliff. I really appreciate it! Our weigh in day is on Friday, so would I just post the total amount I lost since previous Friday even though updating .2lbs etc when I lose? I find I'm eating more for breakfast and lunch and light dinner, usually salad with some chicken.1

It's tough because there's this cycle for me down up and down so it can be really a bad thing for motivation. I'm trying to embrace it and maybe use the graph as motivation. Seeing it sometimes go up right before it comes down isn't so bad then.0

I weigh myself almost every day. I only skip if I know for sure it's going to be up and I know that seeing a bigger number will only make me feel bad.
I'm getting to the point where that number is simply data. Feedback on where I am at that moment. Seeing the graph be all zig zaggy but ultimately trending downward makes me feel ok with the little ups that happen.2
