Do you use MFP to plan your day?

I am OCD diagnosed, but yes, I do. Mostly because if I dont, I will eat what-the-heck-ever I want.

Yes I typically plug in everything the day before or the morning of. It helps me stick to my goals and makes me accountable for what I put in my body. I think it helps me focus on my final goal.

Definitely - usually I have my entire day's worth of meals and snacks planned by 10am or so. It's just easier if I have a plan to follow and so that I don't eat tons and end up with few calories left at the end of the day.

I do it the night before.... there was a brief period where I planned out whole WEEKS in advance. I suppose I'll probably do that again at some point, but I just got lazy... lol. I DO always know what I'm eating before I start, though... It's been very helpful in keeping me on track!

I always do mine the night before, it helps me stay on track. My husband and I also make up all our lunches for the week on Sunday

I use it in a rough rule-of thumb way

I figure out how much I would like to have for my main meal (my evening meal) and then divide the rest out over whatever other meals/snacks I want pretty much like:

Example: I have 2000 calories for today and we're having lasagne for dinner....I want a big piece....I'll set aside 1250 calories for dinner

That would leave:
150 for breakfast
500 for lunch
100 for an afternoon snack

Then I will count during the day and adjust my evening meal size to fit what I have left (or if I eat less for dinner I'll make myself an evening snack).

I generally plan mine out the night before. Sometimes I change it up, but it helps me be mindful.

I do plan with it if I am going to be going out, like on a weekend. I find it much easier to stick to plan at restaurants if I review their menus when I am not hungry and choose appropriate meals. I enter them into MFP and then there's no risky indecision when I get there.

During regular weekdays, I don't usually plan it out. If I eat more at one meal, I check the remainder of my calories and adjust my next meal accordingly.

I basically have an 8-week Menu, suggested by a dietician. It's not exactly a diet, just a balanced Menu so my body will get everything it needs in a week. So yes, right now I fill out MFP in the morning. It is actually really helpful, because when I don't have a plan, I eat anything I see. And when I have a plan, I already look forward to my next meal. (:

I do mine first thing then I know what I have left for snacks etc
It works for me :happy:

I do not. I don't want to trade one addiction for another. In the very beginning, I would make a meal then put it in MFP befor I consumed it. Now, I just log it when I'm done eating. I want to practic self controll on my own now, without having to rely on an outside source. I feel like I have a handle on the calorie count of a meal that I am going to eat and when I plug them in after my meal, I am usually right. I love MFP. I am on it every day, but I don't want to replace my addiction to food with an addiction to planning my food.

I do usually

I just fill mine out as I am going...

I am extremely organized about food. My husband and I always decide dinner the night before, that way things can be defrosted in the fridge if necessary. So the night before, I log the next day's dinner, the lunch I will prepare that night for work the next day, then I see how many calories I have left for breakfast and snacks. I've been doing this since day 1 of MFP and it really helps me stay within my calorie goal.

Only when I know what I'm having for dinner, I find that I have a better day if I've planned it out.
