How would I log a finger-lick

lynder64

SO many funny finger licking thoughts! A good chuckle AND some good advice for the poster :-)

I don't think it's a crazy question, little things can add up. I would probably log it, just estimate as others have suggested.

It depends on the finger.

If index finger, sheesh, everyone knows the answer to that one and since you asked the question that would make you a troll.
Thumb = two index fingers.
If pinky finger = 1/2 index finger.
Ringer finger = 0.954 index fingers
If it was the middle finger, your naughty thoughts negated the calories and you get a pass.

Middle finger example below:

Definitely crazy- chillax!

If you are on day 5 of this "over the top" measuring behavior, I predict you will get burned out by day 10. Measure as accurately as you can within reason. If you feel you had too many "licks", a walk around the block should cover it.

Don't make this so complicated.

One finger lick: Don't bother.

Licking the *entire bowl* of chocolate cake batter, like I did this morning? Quick-add 100 calories, 'cause there's no way that it was anything less than that.

Cake batter is the .

One thing for sure since I started counting cals I clean my plate like never before..lol

I have to stop myself from saying "I already logged this, I have to eat it!"
No, no I don't.

We need video to really gauge this.

Oh my goodness, yes, don't grab a kernel of my weighed popcorn if you want to keep your fingers! lol

I always warn my family, never attempt to eat off my plate while I'm dieting/counting calories. If I accounted for that plate of food - I'm eating every darn bite, and loving it!

I don't add those things. This is the most serious I have gotten about weight loss too. almost 5 months in and down 30lbs..but I don't record small nibbles or "finger licks". A "finger lick" won't put you that far over and doom the day.

I'd probably log it as one gram.

^This up here, is what I do for store-offered samples of foods as well as taste-licks or use of condiments.

weigh your clean hand on a scale, then put jam on your finger and re-weigh your hand. Once you have figured out your jam-to-finger ratio, and how many calories that would be, you can log it as twice the amount to account for the previous jam-fingers.

Hopefully someone else can think of a more sane suggestion.

No I think you nailed it.
