    When you are watching television and and find yourself mentally calculating the calories, fat and sugar content of the food shown and categorising it as 'I would eat that' or 'I would not eat that' or 'I could eat that if I exercised x number of minutes'.

    I am much more aware of food content and look out for new food ideas that fit my idea of a healthy nutritious and interesting diet.

    I sometimes find myself doing it for commercials, cooking programmes and programmes where you see people shopping.

    Edit: Interestingly, the majority of food commercials fall into the 'I would not eat that'.

    When you judge people in the supermarket check out lane because of all the unhealthy stuff they're buying.

    This ^^^^. I have to fight with myself not to inform them of this site!

    Check MFP food database before I order my food. Even when I am already famished.

    Most of these.

    I took about 20 mins last night to explain to my 22 year old son that a lb of fat weighs the same as a lb of muscle using every analogy i could think of.

    I had to rummage in the bin last night to find the pasta sauce my wife used in the bolognese so I could log a measly 37 cals.

    When Burger King's the only thing around to eat so you whip out your phone and check nutritional info before ordering. Pretty sure I was the only person in the restaurant who gave a ****.

    You don't bother with bowls. You just grab a spoon, put the tub of Greek yogurt on the scale, and eat until you hit 227g.

    Why did I not think of this?!?

    When you plan pizza night for your huge burn days because that's the only time you get to eat more than a slice or maybe two and it's a great way to actually get close to you calorie goal after running 10 miles.

    Food gets cold sitting in front of you while you log it all in.

    This was true for me too often.

    Now it's
    You know you are on MFP when you keep a notepad and pen by the scales, so you can log every gram after the meal.

    Doesn't work for me, sometimes I have to log how much meat I'm eating to know how much veggies I can have etc.

    Which takes me to... When you add veggies one at a time on your plate so you stay under your calorie goal.

    You decide not to eat something because you'll be embarrassed for your MFPals to see it in your diary.

    When you tell your SO to make dinner tonight, they reply with "are you sure.....?" because you always want to cook so you know what and how to log it....
    Boyfriend dearest seems to only be able to cook carb filled pasta dishes.

    You start freaking at the end of the night because you're afraid of the "you're eating too few calories..." message that may pop up but you don't want to eat so late at night!!

    Or

    you chug a glass of water because you don't remember how many glasses you drank!!

    Or

    You start looking up food at a restaurant BEFORE you order so you know how many calories you're going to eat!!
