log calories - vomit

xombiebite

Hey,
I had a nauseated stomach this morning and just thought it was anxiety. i drank a smoothie for breakfast and now i feel as if i am going to vomit any second i've been drinking water but it's not helping. would i lose those calories if i actually do throw up?

LittleMissDover

I would and have still logged them.

You don't know how much has been digested and vomiting as a way to rid yourself of calories is called bulimia (yes I am aware that's not your intention but it can be a slippery slope for some).

Hopefully vomiting isn't happening regularly enough for you to consider logging it vs not logging it.

This is seriously your big worry for today?

yeah it is my worry for the day as i have been off work since June 1st with stomach issues and caloric intake is important for me to log and maintain. so until you know the whole story keep your snarky comments to yourself.

If you're anxious/stressed enough to literally hurl you probably need the energy more than the weight loss right now. If it happens, figure two thirds of the calories got into your system and eat what your stomach likes best in the amounts you need to do what needs to get done... if you need maintenance then eat maintenance.

Eat the BRAT diet..

bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast (and tea)

yes it's bland, but you can usually keep those things down.

I do it everytime my stomach feels queasy and I feel better after the day is over.. (although I don't usually eat rice, i usually eat broth/soup)

If I were so sick that I'd not gone into work for almost two months, the last thing I'd be worried about was whether to log the food I'd puked back up into MFP. I just find this strange...

Gross.

Thanks for that thread title while I'm eating lunch.

Seriously, some people really need to use the search function or use straight up Google for their concerns.

Why would you visit a thread with vomit inthe title while eating lunch!?! LOL Maybe you should use the search function!

OP-I hope it isn't food poisoning if fiance' is sick too! Avoid dairy. I agree with BRAT diet. My hubby had some stomache issues. Our doc put him on BRAT for a month. Id really helped.

My personal method of dealing with illness: don't log that day. Eat what it takes to feel better (whether it's Saltines or Jell-o or chicken soup or Gatorade), without fussing about calories or sodium or macros.

I agree.

Also eating at a deficit is stress on the body, so if I'm sick but can still eat I usually eat maintenance calories.

If you've been sick since June 1 you really should see a doctor. That's not normal and isn't good long-term.

Have you been sick since June 1, or is this something you ate last night?
