It seems, if it's a helthy choice, I pre-log...if it was a bad choice, it's after I've already eaten it0

I write everything im gonna eat on that day, and see wat it comes too. lol. apart from my drinks i write it wen ive had them, but food wise stops me going off track, if its nt on my diary haha i dnt eat it unless i have cals over and im hungry I add something on.0

I log as I go.... super easy with the mobile app. At dinner, I know exactly where I am for the day and what to watch so I can plan dinner better.0

I log before I eat, I am a big fan of the mobile app, and find it much easier to use the bar code scanner. As I make or eat, scan the code and it's there.0

:mad: As soon after i eat as i can:happy:0

I have to plan every meal. So I in the morning I log my breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Because my days are long and I tend to do my exercise in the evening, I log dinner and exercise at night. When I plan my meals and exercise ahead of time it helps me be more accounting to myself.0

I do a mix of all three.0

Pre-Journal, so I'm stuck eating what I journal. No guess work when I'm deciding what to eat, it's already planned out.0

Variously...what I mean is if I have no doubt what I'm eating for b-fast, lunch and dinner i will pre-log and then see where I'm at. I usually log within a few minutes of making a food choice. Sometimes before eating, sometimes while I'm eating, sometimes after. The app is great because it has really steered me away from hevay calorie foods as I will look them up and then ask myself, do i really want to do additional cardio just to eat this? BTW...i drink a lot of coffee and i log it as soon as I drink another cup. Snacks too.0

It depends on the day and whether I'm running low on supplies. If I already planned dinner and know what I have available for snacks, I pre-journal but I don't actually hit the submit button until the end of the day just in case something changes.0
-
Before I eat it usually if I can! I like to see the day planned as there is always stuff to add as I snack & I like to get in a balanced diet before that starts.......0
-
I log when I eat... I like to visit the site several times a day to see what others are logging and add my water.0
-
pre-logger here!0
-
Usually the night before then I know how much I need to exercise the next day.0
-
Pre-journal and edit as necessary. Complete when I know I won't change it anymore!0
-
Pre-log most things and adjust/add as necessary throughout the day0
-
I like to log after each meal/snack as my meal plans tend to change throughout the day.0
-
A variety of those for me
Pre-planned luch out with co-workers I will look up the food/emnu and decide what I will eat.
My leftovers from last night's dinner, I will log that in from the day before using MFP easy meal copy option, or delete it if I have a change of plans or tastes for that day.
Throwing a meal together with the items in the fridge/pantry, as I go I will scan or add the items I am preparing for dinner.
I logged my lunch (leftovers) and my dinner (more leftovers from eating out this weekend) right after breakfast. I find this helps me stay closer to plan and within calories rather than flying by the seat of my pants and logging afterward. I always go over when I do that.0 -
Pre-journal...the more I plan the better my outcome by the end of the day. I usually pre-journal from breakfast up thru afternoon snack. I know better where I am calorie-wise (if I've exercised or not, etc.) before eating dinner Then, dinner calories are usually logged after eaten - right before bed.0
-
i log some as i eat. lately, i've been doing it the evening before. gives me a vague outline of what i'll eat the next day so that i don't have to worry about it.0
