When to start logging food?

[2ndSpring 350]

i find the tracker so helpful for carbs and Protein. I don't wait until the end of the day, then it's just a journal. As the day goes on, I'll know if I need to add a protein snack or a shake.

I'm using the fitbit tracker. I can export a month's worth of meals to an excel file and bring it with me to my NUT appointments.

I started when I moved to solids (3w). I get the benefits and know I should have done it during my pre-op time. I still struggle logging everything I eat. Good reminder to see these posts.

I started the day I came home from the hospital. I need to get into the routine early.

I started the day I came home. Logged everything that went in my mouth for three years. (Reached goal about 18 months postop). Then one day my kitchen scale went caput and I was stressing over it. My husband pointed out that if I didn't know what 2oz or 4oz of something looked like by then I must have a serious learning disability. LOL he was right. I had been eating the same way for so long I didn't even realized I could do it without the scale and tracking app. Haven't logged anything since. But it was an excellent tool when I needed it.
