    Okay....Jump in the bathtub full of water, measure the depth of the water, then eat the M&M, measure the depth of the water and solve for X.

    If I jump in the bathtub I may fall...I don't want to fall

    LOG IT! .01 of a bag!

    You think a whole bag has 100 m&ms? Because .01 is one onehundredth. A quarter cup of them weighs about 40 grams, and since peanut m&ms weight about 2 grams each (per Wolfram Alpha) there are about twenty in a quarter cup. So 100 of them is 1.25 CUPS! that's a lotta m&ms for a bag. The best estimate for calories in a peanut m&m is 10/each. .01 of a bag is way too little--about a quarter as much--as the 10 or so calories she actually ate.

    That said, I wouldn't sweat over an m&m unless it was a regular thing.

    Take the kcals/100g, weigh the M&M and then divide the calories by your answer....or just leave it! :)

    This!!

    She already ate the m&m. Average peanut m&m weighs 2 grams, and has 10 calories.

    Thank you.....

    I mean, really, thank you....I thought I was the only one that obsessed about "How am I gonna log this"

    This is why I quick add extra all day cause I am afraid of underlogging. LOL

    Weigh it and enter it in grams.

    I could never eat 1 M&M but I think it's OK to log a single anything. If it goes in to your mouth, log it. Most likely you will relax about it over time, but if you're strict about logging, you're accountable. That way when you hit a plateau and you want to figure out whats been going wrong, you can look back at your diary and figure it out, it could be part of a trend.

    My OCD came in the form of having to log TWO peanut M&M's once because my mouth felt unbalanced only eating one. I had to chew another equally on the other side.

    I have issues.

    Don't worry, the water will break your fall. I usually do cannonballs.

    If you think about how much estimating we do for calories, its well under any rounding error. I swam 31.5 minutes today and it estimates I burned 387 calories, but it could easily have been 350 to 400. When I eat peanuts it says a serving is 35, but they are different sizes, so that's an estimate as well. I'm listed as sedentary, but am I as sedentary as everyone else listed as sedentary? We just go with the best information we have available and move on.

    I'd say you're justified either way. Entering it using the best information you have available or skipping it as immaterial. I eat 4 m&m's or a tic-tac when I want something sweet and I don't bother logging it, but if I did that 2 or 3 times a day I'd add them up for one snack.

    Don't even tempt yourself, I consider sugar toxic to my body and would not eat even one m&m. Walnuts instead of peanuts...no sugar Walnut m&m's...hmmm

    ...and chocolate is pretty much kryptonite, So no sugar, no chocolate walnut M&Ms.

    aka walnuts.
