Knowledge is power.... And a OOPS

Kittyglo145

Having the app store the foods and beverages I have consumed is very handy and helps me plan my day. But things don't always go as planned. While grocery shopping I thought a small Mike's strawberry lemonade would be nice after a long work week. That's my oops. I should have known even a small one would have ALOT of empty calories. So now I know for next time and I can plan accordingly. Have you ever checked after eating or drinking something and said oops? Still no regrets. Not gonna beat myself up because now I know. :-)

the other day i opened a bag of Trader Joe's butterscotch shortbread cookies while in line, looked at the calorie count, 6 cookies for 130 calories, (they were small cookies obvs) approx 6 servings in the bag. proceeded to finish off the bag in the car. oops.

Use the app to scan the bar code in the grocery store.

im in the habit of looking at calories before i buy much of anything so.... i cant say ive had any 'ooops' in that regard. i have had a lot of times where i was going to buy something and then looked at it and made the decision on whether or not i REALLY wanted it lolol

Typically it's those special rolls at the restaurant (like Red Lobster or Texas Roadhouse). I usually look at calories ahead and plan my meals and forget about those... so I have one, then I go to log it and realize they're like 260 calories each. Ouch.

Usually though it's more a case of not realizing how much calories add up. Like when I'm making crepes or a sandwich, write down all the toppings as I weigh them, and I realize that I ate close to 900 calories after I log it....
