Does anyone pre-plan their days?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I grocery shop every tuesday and I plan out my dinners for the week to make sure I have everything I need on hand. I usually log in my dinners after breakfast, or the night before if I am working. I like planning ahead and being prepared.

I did for many months until I felt I had things down enough to "wing it" successfully. Pre-planning was an immensely useful tool for me and I highly recommend it to anyone starting out.

My hubby and I discuss and plan the meals & exercise for the next day at the end of the evening, so we don't have to spend a lot of time thinking about it during the day. He doesn't track anything but water and calories. I track water, carbs, fat, protein, calcium and salt, because they all play a part of what triggers hunger for me. I try to stay under for fat & carbs and over for protein, calcium & salt.. We have been successful at this (ten months and about 100 each so far) and I think part of the reason for our success is knowing in advance what we have budgeted for that day.

^^ I do something similar. Mostly I plan in my head. I have several options for breakfast (shake, boiled eggs, fage), so I mix and match, and try to keep that meal under 350 cal. Lunch at work is usually a lean meat and vegetables, or something like curry or lentils. Every now and then I'll go out for a salad, or a sandwich with no bread or 1/2 bread.

I log breakfast and lunch at lunch. Try to leave 'space' for dinner.

If I'm on the run I try to think of something that sounds healthy and remember to check the database before I make a choice. Seems obvious but it took a few weeks to "get" it. Worked really well for me yesterday - i was able to pick something decent off the chik-fil-a menu and plan for later.

The one thing I don't plan is dinner ... and that meal can get me into trouble! I've read a lot of good suggestions on here about planning dinner that will help me stay on track - thanks.

i log in the morning what i plan to eat but as the day goes along, i change it. if i go overboard mid-day, i check how many calories i have left and choose my dinner accordingly

I usually preplan my week for both food and exercise as much as possible, I find it helps me out loads to make sure I hit my macros and keeping organized!
