How do you log bites? Like earlier I took a small bite from my daughter's bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's. I know that those calories count, but I have no idea how to log it?

    Well, if you had brought your kitchen scale with you. . . >:)

    I would divide by the amount I think I ate . . .1/12 or whatever of the total cals from their website.

    I log it as like .1 or more of a serving. Depends on how big the bite is.

    I just don't log it. or I'll quick-add like 100 calories. A bite is not going to make or break the logging.

    lol even if I owned a scale, I was driving when I took the bite. It was a pretty small bite. Just enough to taste it since I can't eat it but wanted some lol. I don't even know how much a bite would be haha. I'll just guess. You're right, it won't make or break a log. I'll just make sure to stay under my calories the best I can to make up for it.

    This. As long as you don't make a habit of that, it's not going to make a significant difference.

    Guesstimate and quick add calories.

    Just make sure that next time you spit the bite out onto your scale and balance it accurately as you drive with your knees! :D

    I got myself out of the habit of taking bites of food that I didn't need or that belonged to other people. Sampling was a bad habit I was happy to break.

    I guesstimate and use the quick add for all BLT's(bites, licks, tastes).
