Lightbulb Do you plan menus in advance, or do you just "wing it" from meal to meal?

I'm curious how folks manage their daily eating, and if you find that advance planning makes a difference.

Does it help you to stay in control? Stave off cravings, less likely to cheat? Does it help you to ensure that you eat enough?, especially protein?

Or, do you not bother to plan a menu, because your days are fairly scheduled and routine, and you tend to eat the same things at the same time anyway? Or maybe you just wing it from day to day, not really paying attention except to stay within carb limits .. and still able to have good success with your program?

I know the folks who are following an exercise regimen such as CKD/ Body Opus, or BFL .. must plan meals & snacks to be in sync with exercise/ muscle recovery ... but what about the days off? Do you still plan, or do you just wing it, maybe skipping meals if you feel like it?
