How do you log your food?

Sometimes I log the whole day ahead of time…others I log as I go. If I log after it goes sideways fast. It seems easier to log the whole day in morning and delete or alter as things evolve. It helps me stay in the “zone” calorie/macro wise better.0

Log as I go, but I find that more and more I'm pre-planning the day by entering what I expect to eat for the day. It helps me stay on target, even if I have to change one of the meals.0

I log in my food and drink as I eat them. It's easier to keep track when I have the food in front of me.0

I pre log Monday- Friday then log as I go at the weekends.0

I prelog dinners a week in advance because I have always planned the weekly menu (hubs like checking the "menu board" on the fridge to see what's coming up.) I am a good cheffy cook so dinners tend to be more complicated to log. Then I log everything else for the day as I go.0

I mix and match.
In general, I pre-track as much as possible helps with grocery shopping as well. I often start with most limiting meal which is typically dinner, or some meal outside the home. I then fill in the remaining of the day. As the actual day proceeds, I adjust if/when necessary.
Today is a unique tricky day. For once I have no clue what the middle of my day will bring (at friend's house). Put together a "safe" breakfast. Will track the middle of the day as it happens, or make mental notes and track as soon as possible afterwards. I will then customize the rest of the day once everything else has happened. Fortunately, hubby is the driver, so I can track and plan in the car on the way back home. :P1 -
I log while I am making my food. Scale next to me and weight everything ingredient by ingredient1
