After eating dinner last night, I vomitted after taking a new prescription. I'm assuming I shouldn't log those calories. Can you please confirm?

    Depends, how much time had passed? Amount digested? Amount coming up? I would just log half and call it even.

    Unless you vomited immediately after eating I would just log it and move on.
    If you vomited right after swallowing the last bite then I'd say not to log it.

    Me too..and might i add..if you get sick too many times, go back and ask for a new prescription....also, while you're sick, maybe consider not logging for a day or two, to give yourself a break..xo

    Log it but take it as personal win in your mind

    I drank a bottle of wine last night, I rarely drink! I hurled 15 minutes after eating dinner, but I still left my dinner in my food diary. Better to be safe than sorry.

    Once I've thrown up, I've considered myself done eating for the day. What's the point of tracking when you're that sick?

    Hilarious thread title, MFP in a nutshell. Hope you feel better, original poster.

    Theoretically one could weigh it to see how much not to count.

    Well from what little I know, if it was 30+ minutes after she ate, she absorbed most of the calories, what she lost the remainder of the bulk from the food and some nutrition.

    I am always sort of sad when I see a poster worried about calories consumed after "vomiting". One day of feeling like crap after vomiting on new medication would be my main focus.

    Now that is just wrong. How is vomiting ever a win?
