ok so i was really sick for a while and as i was getting better i began to look into this site and decided to join. ok so we are suppose to count anything that goes into our mouths and count everything we exercise. My question is, if we eat and then throw up (my cough gets out of control) does that mean we just lost the calories we just ate?? I just had lunch and my cough got really bad and I think I'm safe to say I just threw up everything I ate.

    Aww I'm sorry you're sick :( But you should count all of those calories. Even tho it's not staying in your body you've still absorbed a lot of the nutrients and calories in it.

    Yeah I would count them anyway and leave a note at the bottom saying that you'd been sick a lot that day. So when you find that your weight loss was probably more this week and you look back at a much later date, you'll know why.
