  • A similar thread was floating around recently, you might also find some ideas here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1044098-question-about-logging-food-opinions-please
  • I don't think it really matters when you log it as long as you are consistent about it. If you're always having a meal at 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, then decide where you're going to put that meal and keep it there. I use 11:00 p.m. as my cut-off because that is when MFP moves me forward to the next day...anything I eat after…

  • Standing for long periods of time, which is a necessary part of my teaching job, unfortunately. Stress, cold or stormy weather, eating wheat, and I'm also starting to suspect sugar as a possible flare trigger.
