Didn't weigh fruit samples, concerned

nykismile

Hi there!

I went to a fresh produce market today in the city. Before going, I had one of my typical meals, salad and Skinnypop (merits about 300 calories). However at this market, I was trying fresh fruit samples from many of the stands, and I have no idea how many calories it could have been. I also ate a lot of fruit later in the day, but I weighed that.

Should I be concerned? Or just try to make a close guesstimate of the calories and hope it's somewhat accurate? Not sure what else I can do now.

You could make a close guesstimate if you wanted, but I would not be concerned. These unaccounted calories make up much less than 1% of all your counted calories that you've been tracking this whole time. All the effort you put in to being accurate and counting calories gives you room for error. No worries!

It's only one day, I wouldn't fret.

Also, I've seen a lot of fruit in the database that's classified like 'small', 'medium', 'large', so you could just use those entries for today.

I seriously doubt those samples added up to a significant amount. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, you're fine, don't worry about it I vote you just guesstimate!

It was all just fresh fruits? It's fine. WW doesn't even count fruits in their guides. you could guesstimate, but it keep it low. It was prob. small bites of lots of fruits which really doesn't add up that quickly.

but I wouldn't even add it.. Maybe I would put one medium banana in my log about it.

guestimate and let it go. Just don't make a habit out of not measuring your portions and you'll be fine

I wouldn't sweat it. Call it a large apple or a bunch of grapes & call it good.

Okay, I'll add in like 250 cals. Thank you all

If you're REALLY concerned, just don't eat all the way up to your normal consumption for logged foods. So if you eat 2000 cals, eat 1900 or 1950.

Not a huge deal in the end - even with more sugary fruit, it's not like you've consumed a few hundred extra cals from samples. Unless by sample you mean you are a big bowl at each stand.
