do you really log everything?

I log everything I eat. I don't log my drink unless it has calories, but do add my water. I log exercise, that is, anything I do that is above and beyond my daily routine.0

I log all my food and all my exercise because I have my lifestyle set at sedentary. If you have you ADL set to include the walking around campus then you should not log it as extra excerise.0

how do I log "crust from 100% whole wheat bread of a pb and j sandwich that my 4 year old left on his plate"?
Ewww. You're right - no idea how many calories in drool. :laugh:0 -
I log every bite of food, but i only log my workouts... I consider everything else my daily routine.
This. I never log walking across campus our anything part of my daily movement. MFP takes regular daily movement into consideration when you tell it your activity level. Even the sedentary lifestyle includes some moving.0 -
Like some others have mentioned, I log everything I eat because I'm just that OCD. I log specific exercise and things like a full day of cleaning the house. But I don't track everyday activities like walking the dog. That's just me!0

Log everything that passes your lips but don't log walking around campus as exercise. That's just "life" not exercise.
The exercise you log and EAT BACK is when you say "I'm going to work out now." and you deliberately break a sweat and get breathing hard, above and beyond any normal daily life activity. Your activity level should be set to active to compensate for those types of everyday activity.0 -
I try to log almost all my food, some times when I've had a very bad day I don't log all of my food...but I try really hard, even though it hurts to see that big red number haha
I do not log things such as walking around the grocery store, cleaning, etc because I just figure it's just ADLs I normally would do.
I do, however, log my workouts and I will log when I'm riding a horse.0
