Ask HN: How and when do you log your food?

Re:Ask HN: How and when do you log your food? by jordsmi on Thursday October 16, 2014 @03:01PM (#8466788)

I use myfitnesspal to log food.

Lately I haven't been logging as much since I just eat between the same 2-3 things everyday.

I usually log my day again if I eat something new.

For estimating food I weighed things out in the beginning and how I just eyeball it to be the same amount.

Which moment of the day do you use to log your food(s)? How did you learn to eyeball your food?

When I log, I log before/during cooking of the meal. I'll usually plan my meal on myfitnesspal so I know what all to make so that it fits my macros.

And for eyeballing after making the same things over and over and weighing them out, you start to get a feel for how much it is you need. Every once and awhile I'll weigh out what I eyeballed to make sure I'm not going too low or high.
