In real life, junk food is still junk.
That was very well put.
Why is it that the people that complain the most about junk food or sugar never have open diaries?
Time for more chocolate
Because you asked:
I wasn't complaining about junk food nor do I have ill feelings towards it. Why would I? I don't eat it or crave it. Was I commenting about it? yes. it's a forum.
I never enter anything into my diary. Why would I? I don't count calories or keep track of the amount of food I eat to care enough about a diary. I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. (I also eat when I'm full, esp when it's delicious). I do watch the types of food that go into my mouth very carefully and I don't need a diary for that. Just a set of eyes.

How are you going to help on a website for calorie counting when you don't count calories?
By steering people away from focusing on calorie counting and on factors that I think are more important.
No not necessarily. MFP has good intentions. Just to increase health awareness/
it's a calorie counting site.
it's job is to provide a platform for people to count calories conveniently.
it is under no obligation to "increase" health awareness. or anything else.
it's a tool. Like a calculator or a scale. it's just to quantify things. that's it. That is the ONLY job of MFP.-1 -

You are so off base it isn't even funny. The tracking application is meant for counting calories. The forum isn't really. Nobody is asking for mathematical help on how to count numbers here. We are discussing the process of weight loss. We are discussing exercises and techniques. We are sharing recipes. We are motivating each other with success stories and other tips. You are just completely wrong saying that MFP is ONLY meant for counting calories.0 -

Forum is a support platform TO the actual site.
I'm not saying support doesn't happen here- and that there isn't a community here- MFP's purpose exits to count calories- the forum is an addendum to that.
Otherwise- this would just be a random site where people talk about food a lot.0 -

Actually OP, I would like to thank you for posting this helpful tool. I have logged my breakfast and lunch and prelogged my dinner (yeah taco stew) now I have a handy cheat sheet to decide which combinations of candies to choose while I am walking around trick or treating with my kids tonight.
I also need a cheat sheet for Pumpkin Beer (with the stew), Red Wine (during trick or treating), and Baileys & Coffee (when we get home).
Math is hard.
