    I use quick add:
    1) if I believe that I've missed something or underestimated somewhere, just to keep the calorie counts as close to accurate as possible.
    2) if I'm on vacation or for some other fun reason way too busy to keep track. I'd rather do this than not log, because I am also tracking the data on a weekly and monthly basis, and have to estimate missing days anyway. Using the quick add function plugs those holes for me.

    If I do use it I try to over estimate how many calories are in it.. I'd rather over estimate than not put enough....

    I only use quick add when I go to places like Subway and my specific sandwich isn't in the database, so I go to the sandwich maker that roughly adds up the calories for you there, then quick add the calories for here.
    I never quick-add for anything else.. yet.

    Food that puts them way over their carb macro. At least that's what I put as my quick cals sometimes. LOL

    Q: What do YOU think people are eating/drinking when they "quick add" calories?

    A: Something they do not want me to know about.

    Lol, I normally put all my booze on there. I do it for items that aren't in the database and I feel no need to add to it. For example, my office received some Christmas cookies today and I had one. They were not in the database, but the tin came with a nutrition guide so I just used the quick add. I'm certainly going to think everyone is using it for booze now!

    I used quick add for the first time yesterday. I was out shopping in Long Grove Illinois...lot's of eclectic shops and free samples of tasty things. I totally lost all sense of calorie intake sampling olive oils at The Olive Tree....some where between the pound cake, strawberry, marzipan drizzled with a mix of walnut oil and white chocolate balsamic vinegar and chicken marinated with orange olive oil w/ ginger habanero balsamic..............quick add.

    When MFP starts putting traditional Scandinavian delicacies in the database, I will stop quick-adding.
    What? You are telling me finnish vodka,Köttbullar and Lakkalikööri are not in the Database? A-tro-cious!!!

    Really dull: for me it's when my husband uses the recipe function and I just steal the calorie count as recipes can't be shared :(
