DON'T comment "great job!"... I'm tired of seeing comments of that nature, then I look at the diary and the person only ate 500 calories that day. :noway: Wtf? How the hell is that a good job? STOP encouraging eating disorders! If you aren't going to take the time to at least glance at the diary... just don't comment. :explode:

Ok, rant over. Carry on. :wink:

    this happens on my list quite frequently :(

    i hate when people automatically post the same comment on everyones status but don't actually look through it!

    the whole point of viewing the diary is seeing all the diff foods and overall numbers!

    rant carried on, and now over :explode:

    Agree! (Of course if they don't open up their diary... that is a different matter!)

    How about you just unfriend the person who's offending you? Or unfriending the person who eats so little that their friends comments offend you? Job done!

    I usually comment without reading the diary. I'm sure the majority of people are this way.

    The sad part is, there are a lot of people here who would look at a diary with 500 calories and think the person had done a good job!

    I'll always try to get through to the person first. If it gets to that point.. then it must be done :(

    This

    Yep, this. I like to look through diaries because I can get ideas. If we don't each gain something from each other then I unfriend them. Easy peasy.

    I won't comment if I don't think it's a good diary. I'm not going to berate someone for having a bad day (and if it becomes consistent, I'll just delete them), but I'm not going to support it either.

    I have a general idea of how many calories my friends eat, and their eating habits. I caught one of my ex-MFP friends eating only 500. Two carrots, 1/2 tsp of ranch dip, half an apple, etc. This person barely amounted to 500 calories. I noticed that this person kept doing it, so I unfriended them. I asked this MFPer why don't you eat more? They said they aren't ever hungry. I have no knowledge on eating disorders, neither am I qualified to offer help. I saw people were blindly commenting 'way to go!' etc. It is disappointing, so I just unfriended said person. Hopefully they get help. And on top of that, they were burning 400+ cals. in their workouts. It's so saddening. I wish they could lose weight the right way.

    So people are actually trolling other people's food diary? This is why I turned off my "...completed her food diary..." autoposts. If it isn't in their newfeed, they aren't going to comment.
