MFP tricks that make counting/losing easier/faster/more useful for you?

What are your favorite little tips and tricks for your calorie tracking apps? Here are some of mine, mostly gathered on this sub:

  • I pre-plan and pre-log pretty much everything into a custom "planned" meal at the start of the day. Then I just move them into the right meal as I eat them or delete them as I make changes, really helps keep me on track.

  • if I've eaten a bunch of nonsense I always log it - but often spread out across the next couple of days. Makes it easier to adjust around it to have it pre-logged when I start the day.

  • I just started trying a new tip that I'm really liking so far - count dinner as the first meal of the next day to make it easier to plan around what is for many of us the biggest meal of the day, and also the meal that unfortunately comes when you have the least flexibility in your budget. So, like, you could rename your MFP meals to be "yesterday's dinner", "today's breakfast", and "today's lunch", in that order. When you plan tomorrow's breakfast and lunch you can keep tonight's dinner in mind and plan around it.

In general anything that helps me keep a 3- or 4- day picture in mind and helps me remember that this isn't really about "good days" and "bad days" but about ongoing good choices really motivates me.

What are your favorite tips?
