Don't Forget Your BLT's

WhiteRaven

If there is one thing I learned from WW it would have to be making sure I count all my BLT's Bites Licks and Tastes. Because WOW they can sure add up in the day.

Your not evening thinking about it, and you see something and you give it a try... gotta count it.
Your cooking dinner and you want to make sure the flavor is just right, write it down.

Once I got used to keeping track of the BLT's I found I did it a lot less. Another positive outcome was that there was a more steady weight loss, I didn't find myself wondering ... where did I go wrong this week. I went back to my food diary and I knew! those darn BLT's.

Are you aware of all your BLT's.

Food for thought.
Cheers

LOL I hardly taste my food while cooking. Figure if they don't like it they can cook next time (and there's never a meal they don't like lol). I just cook, season, and serve.

I could see how it could add up though...especially for a chef or something...wow.

Those little "taste tests" sure add up.

Especially when you have 8 grandchildren that love grandma's cookies!

i'm a chef and thats where i probably going wrong. how do you count the calories for a lick of gravy tho or whatever?? i figure all the running around during the day that i do that i dont include in my exercise cancels this out...im probably very wrong tho. thanks for this

Was I the only one who hoped we were talking about bacon?

I don't have to taste that much since most of my food comes from the microwave.

I just came across this post and I was also wondering how you would input BLT into the system.

I just came across this post and I was also wondering how you would input BLT into the system.

it would likely have to be done by breaking it down, admittedly some things will be a lot easier to do. Some things have a 1 oz serving, just use the dropdown menu. Other things you might have to do 0.25 of a serving.

I suppose one could even make a "new food" and incorporated some very basic nutritional information.. call it BLT - sugar (bit licks tastes) for a sugar based blt something along those lines.

Very good question, when I get back from work this evening, I will see if I can make up a few blt scenarios. I think it would be worthwhile because when you start adding up your BLT's for a day it can definitely make an impact! I know it did for me before I learned through ww not to do it.

I'll work on it tonight,
Cheers

Thanks for this helpful post WhiteRaven, I think this might be one of the reasons I have not lost anymore weight and have just been maintaing. well that and the lack of exercise.

I will always remember what my WW leader used to say .. "If you nibble it, scribble it. If you bite it, write it"
