Do you track condiments, drinks, creamer, etc?

@lulalacroix It would absolutely work with rice too, or any other grain you like. You could make a big batch of rice and freeze it in small portions, then just heat up what you need for breakfast (or whenever). I don't knew how long to heat frozen rice, but I bet Google does!

Scrambled eggs are good in rice too, and so are chopped veggies. I like peas, carrots, onions, and corn in mine. Really anything works.

Mmmmmmm... fried rice with eggs. One of my favorite meals.

If I bite it, I write it.

Yes. If I drink or eat it, I track it.

Yes but I am not only watching calories. Those things usually have alot of sugar and sodium in them. Amazing how different you feel when your mindful of that also.

The first thing I put into my log everyday is 150 cals for milk I expect to drink in tea/coffee through day. It is on my snack list every day. It might not be exactly accurate but it means I dont need to think about every drink, and dont overlook this routine consumption.

I am religiously weighing the "low-fat" mayo on the rare occasion that I use it! The jar says a "portion" is 15g (40 cals). I challenge you to get such a small amount out of the jar. A small soupspoonful is at least twice the "portion" so it is beyond easy to slop on 100 calories of mayo without even trying. This is likely to be where my maintenance has failed in the past .. excess oils in mayo / recipes. Got to be strict here.

Absolutely. And I recently got a food scale and it made things SO much easier, especially for condiments and spreadables. $15 well spent.

I actually found out that I'd been underestimating some stuff, like peanut butter. 16g looks very different from one tablespoon.
