    I log everything in the morning when Im watching the news.. I plan all my main meals, log them and then I can figure out what snacks I can have for my morning and afternoon snack.

    When I am about to eat them (from my phone) Or right after I eat them! Makes me never forget!

    I typically log them in as I eat them... however I do sometimes log in my dinner when I decide what we are having (usually around lunch time).

    I log after each and every meal and with breakfast , I log it most days while I am eating it at my desk after I have been to the gym.

    Heh. I'm a freak, I guess.

    I log when I'm planning. I go grocery shopping on Sunday. I'll plan through at least Thursday at that time. I adjust as necessary, but it's nice to have a plan. :)

    For myself (especially while doing insanity) I find it easier to log my meals for an entire week so that I have no thought of what I'll be eating all day, every day. However, lately I've been logging after i eat, and I definitely eat more when i do that -- although that could also be because I'm traveling so much right now.

    Breakfast and lunch tend to be the same thing for me every day, and I enter it the night before. Supper tends to be what I feel like eating that evening and is adapted to how much I've worked out that day, so I enter that as I'm preparing it or after I've eaten it.

    I log in the am or the night before, when I know what my meals will be. If I don't know, or have snacks, I just log right before I eat them.

    With two kids, I pre-log the night before. Much easier and less stress involved.

    I just did my lunch log in...and have done a log in manually. Found it SOOO much easier to use the bar code scanner on the app, on my phone...scan every food and BAM, everything is right there! Not much thinking involved.

    I usually log my breakfast and lunch in the morning. It's usually for convenience because I'm making breakfast and packing lunch at the same time. It also gives me a good idea of what I have left as a "budget" for snacks and dinner and helps motivate me to workout to earn some extra calories if I didn't do it in the morning.

    ^ this
    Worked great for me yesterday, I planned on a light breakfast and light lunch, knowing I was going to have my favorite pizza with the family at dinnertime. By evening I still had close to 1000 calories to splurge on dinner.

    I log my meals as I eat them if possible, that helps to eliminate the forgetting of a food.

    That's what I do. My wife graciously prepares most of my meals, so I don't always know exactly what I'm getting in advance.

    The night before; I may make some changes during the day.

    I MUST log in the morning so I have a guideline for the day. Otherwise I will be lost/confused and just eat crap

    I log everything in the morning so that I can plan my meals out for the day. If I do it at night, I find that sometimes I overeat. It's just what works for me :)

    I always log right after I eat it. I come and go and it doesn´t take much time to log it
