in Food and Nutrition
Fill out their MFP food diary before they've actually ate the food?
I go in in the morning, and input all my food for the daay, and plan my meals. I think it helps me stick to my goals and lets me know what I'm allowed as opposed to just eating ad-hoc.
I feel like when I complete my diary in the morning, I won't be tempted to eat outwith it, and its working!
What does everyone else do?

    Yeah definately, maybe not always dinner coz i dont always plan that far ahead. But i always do breakfast and lunch straight away and then I can see how many cals i have left to play with for dinner :)

    Yeah I do the same, it's just the natural thing for me to do, I normally think of my food the night before and as soon as I wake up make my decision and add it in to the diary, that way there is no need to stress out throughout the day thinking "can I eat that"....... This way defiantly works for me!!!

    I do the same and if there are any small changes I just make adjustments at the end of the day! Not today though because the nepalese security guard at work wants me try nepalese food, not sure how to place that on here??!!

    If it works why not! :happy:

    yep, i do it at work after breakfast. i generally bring in my lunch so i know what i am having, and will have planned dinner.

    It also means i know if i can have extra snacks or a bigger portion at dinner on the days i am working out.
