    i havent been making my calorie goal at all at the end of the day....so i have been trying to be more conscious with my meals.
    as i was logging in my breakfast today, i thought "i wonder how many calories i'll have left for lunch and dinner". so i logged in my snack and then my lunch. i ended up logging in the whole days worth of meals (6 meals). after logging in all my food, i noticed that i was 195 calories over my calorie goal. this is actually really good because i havent exercised yet, so i will easily burn that up.
    but then i got to thinking, what if i dont eat anything close to what ive got on here!
    i think im gonna try it for a week and see how it works out....

    I pre log only up to one meal. But I like to pre log, because if something is over on fat and calories, I can make adjustments before it is too late.

    Yes, have done this for a long time. I can't always pre-track my exercise calories because I don't always know what I will do in advance.

    I usually plan out what I'm going to eat the night before and log it in. I make changes during the day, but try to stick to what I had planned. This really helps me stay on track and not overeat.

    I usually try to pre-log my dinners at least because I am such a snacker that I like to know what calories I have to eat. It's so easy to change and it makes me not so anxious during the day that I will go over my calories.

    I like to pre-log my food entries in the morning, so I can stay on track throughout the day to better plan my meals.
