Are there any calories you *don't* record
Replies
-
I record everything.0
-
I typically don't record marinades as it's impossible for me to tell exactly how much MY piece of meat has on it when I tossed it in a bag with a couple of other pieces and the whole bottle.0
-
Ketchup and mustard. It's not like I'm pigging out on them. ;-)0
-
Hazelnut milk in my few hot drinks a day, mustard, ketchup, odd packet of sugar, and nope, don't care as I did not come on here due to a weight problem but rather to see what I was doing in general.0
-
The milk that I put in my coffee since I only put 20-30 ml and it's skim milk which only has 86 calories per 250ml and non starchy vegetables0
-
There is a "quick add 100" in the food search that I add on days that I have just that (about 100 calories of various little snacks) I think you should do that just so your calorie total is correct when looking back!0
-
What's the point of counting calories if you don't track everything? Nibbles and bites can add to several hundreds cals in no time.0
-
Ketchup and 5 calorie packets of my sugar stuff if I only use one or two.0
-
vitamins and chewing gum... they are necessary for different reasons lol0
-
Suffice to say we've switched to the 1 cal spray stuff, which is probably horrendously unhealthy and full of chemicals but now if I forget to put it down it's not an extra meals worth of calories in just oil. I sometimes also don't put down say an extra strawberry here or a grape there - as long as it is just the one.0
-
Sometimes I forget to log chewing gum if I only have a piece of two.0
-
I don't typically log for things like "licked two dribbles of ketchup off my finger" but otherwise I try hard to get everything, for now.0
-
Right now, I have to log everything that has calories. I'm trying to teach myself mindful eating. It's not easy.0
-
Nor do I:blushing:0
-
Chewing gum. I really don't want to be that anal haha
This.0 -
VItamins, gum, mustard, pickles on my sandwich aren't recorded. If I was super close on my calories or close to goal I might.0
-
I don't count vitamins/supplements or chewing gum...0
-
I don't track my vitamins and on occasion I've been known to forget a couple cinnamon mints, but if I remember I do add those.0
-
Yes. I use several packets of Pure Via, a low calorie sugar substitute made with stevia and dextrose. It comes out to about 2 calories a packet, and I've been known to mix up to 20 per day into various sweet confections.
I've also been known to underestimate the number of blueberries I eat, because I pull them out of the container by the handful.
I sometimes ignore my flavored gummy vitamins, which are about 7 calories a piece.
I'm toggling between calories to see where I maintain my weight...if my little snacks are a problem I'll cycle down a couple hundred calories every few days to make up for them.0 -
Just chewing gum really
Oh... and anything that I pinch off of someone else's plate which is rarely more than a bite of each thing on their plate!0
