digestive trouble and calorie counting

KCarlssen

I have food sensitivities. I try not to eat the offending substances but they can be hidden and don't get noticed until about 30-60 minutes after mealtime. The question is - after that mad dash to the restroom, how many calories do I log on to MFP? The food wasn't inside long enough to do any good, but I don't know how much of a deduction to make in the numbers I post on MFP. Does anyone have some idea on how to manage the calorie count for a meal that doesn't stay around long?

Save yourself some inconvenience and cook from scratch?

You need to find foods which will stick around....

When you say you've made a "mad dash to the bathroom" to which function are referring. If you are bringing the food back up, then I agree that you haven't absorbed all the calories. If it's the other end, then yes you have absorbed all the calories.

When that happens to me, I keep the meal logged. Sometimes I feel downright empty afterwards, so I'll eat something else and log it. Because of the speed certain meals go through me, and visible evidence, I know I'm not absorbing all of what the meal had to offer. This only happens to me on occasion, so I don't worry much about calories on that kind of day - if I'm over, I'm over.
