I try to do this, at least breakfast through lunch. I eat lunch out often at work, and I try to log it so that I can make a good choice before getting to the drive thru. If I didn't research and pre-plan it, I would end up with a 900 calorie lunch. This way I can make sure I get a decent option at Subway or Wendy's.
Same for times when I know I'll have a large dinner, I try to pre-plan that way I can be sure to bring a low-calorie lunch and snacks to work.0 -
Yes I do during the work week. I eat the same breakfast, lunch and snacks every day so I just copy over the previous day for each meal. Then whatever is left is for dinner!0

Pre-planner here! Mostly during the week when I know my schedule. Weekends, not as much. I tend to eat the same meals Mon-Thurs at least. Simple and it works for me. There are only slight variations, but that's like eating jello vs. not eating jello, using a different marinade for my chicken, etc etc :-)0

I tend to eat the same thing in the morning due to time issues. For lunch I generally eat salad greens with whatever leftover protein I have from dinner the night before. My husband and I figure out what we will have for dinner and then I input the calories to see what a good serving size will be to keep me below 1200 calories.0

I pre-plan a week in advance. I start on Wednesday planning what I want to eat next week. Cook or prepare it on Sunday and log all of it, except for dinners. Dinners is whatever is left to consume. I don't log weekends.0

I plan most days and especially weekends which are my hardest days. My breakfast alternates between two meals so that's easy. Lunch and dinner I plan also because I plan my meals for my family for week too.If I don't plan, I always go over.0

Hi! Congratz on the lost! I "semi" pre-plan if I can. I normally enter it before I make/ buy stuff if I can. That has come down to sitting in a restaurant w my bf and looking up nutritional information on the MPF app in order to decide what I'm going to order. But, I always try to plan how many calories I'm going to eat at which meal and do my best to stick to it.0

Always!! It helps keep me on track!! :flowerforyou:0

I enter a basic outline for the whole week on Sunday, leaving a few hundred calories a day to play with (and more when I exercise) for those unexpected food moments!0
-
i have dinners entered for about the next two weeks. each night i sit down and plan the next days breakfast/lunch/snacks etc. it really helps me stay on track and keeps me from grazing all day0

I generally workout first thing in the morning and then plan most of my food in advance leaving room here or there for slight changes.0

I pre-plan at least 90% of the time. I think it helps soooo much. The days I don't pre-plan are always all messed up.0

I always pre-plan my day, especially meals. This way I can adjust when needed or allow for the unexpected without feeling guilty.0

I don't pre-plan, but I tend to eat the same thing most days for breakfast, and stick with things I know the breakdown for at lunch. I try to leave a bunch of calories to "spend" at dinner, after dinner, etc. When I know I'm going to have a more caloric meal (usually dinner) I put that in first, then plan the rest of the day around it, so I don't run over.0

I'm scared I'll obsess again. But then again this time round, I'm aiming to only lose a few lbs like 5lbs, then tone and maintain...
but yeah, i find it too obsessing to plan my meals, unless I crave something...then I plan ...0 -
I try and pre plan the next day but I don't worry about each catagory. I mainly watch total calorie intake. I am eating mostly healthy foods anyways.0
