...you start weighing the water going into your post-run smoothie.

You mindlessly weigh other people's food on a food scale.

I once weighed two bowls of ice cream for my nieces & basically just scooped ice cream into a bowl with no set gram weight in mind.

I assess the macro content of other people's grocery checkout line contents.

Did you really weigh your water?

I added a few flakes to my breakfast cereal to hit 6 for fiber instead of 5...because a high-fiber breakfast is one of the things I do and it had to be over 5. So very stupid.

When I lick the yogurt off the pull off foil lid.

Those are my calories and if I have to log them...I'm going to eat every last one of them.

When I take two Lucky Charms out of the bowl to get it back to the pre-logged weight without making the conscious decision to do so.

When you go back to the grocery store to get the nutritional info off the bulk packaging.

My individual cheese snacks didn't have the nutritional info on the packaging so I went back to the store to get it off the bulk packaging. I'm sure I looked crazy taking that pic....lol

When you leave a measuring cup out for liquids (like milk for your cereal) for your housemates...and they just pour it in the bowl like "normal" people!

When you secretly delight that your calorie count is actually much lower because you let your dog eat the last 1/2 teaspoon of your yogurt or banana.

When you have photos of nutritional panels at the deli counter in your phone from when you bought deli products and needed to know how to track them

When the people in your office come to you to ask the calorie content of every food item provided in the staff tearoom.... and you know all of them.

When you're weighing the banana peel in the office at work.

Spending more time than normal to get all the yogurt out of the tub.

That would result in negative calories.

Mr_Knight

It's clear I'm not alone.

The same goes with all the peanut butter off your knife.

I do that!

And when I have a steak I weigh it cooked, then weigh the stuff I trim off and subtract it
