Just went nuclear on fresh (so fresh they were still warm) chips and salsa. I haven't a clue how many chips I ate...but the salsa was about 1/2C. I ate the chips right out of the white paper bag till all the salsa was gone...there were chips left when I was done. As I dust the tasty crumbs off my shirt I am trying to figure out how to log this. I guess the incident calls for a blanket entry on the chips...for what, 500cal? Thoughts anyone?

    I've done the same thing. I think that's about what I've counted it at before if it was a lunch bag size bag. Don't worry too much about it, as long as it doesn't happen every day, you'll be fine. Sometimes I do a little extra exercise if I have time in my day, it helps me feel a little less guilty and more in control. It's going to happen.

    We have no idea how many chips are contained in a white paper bag. A full bag? Half full? How big is the bag?

    Go look up Tostitos or some other tortilla chip brand in the database and estimate how many you ate (10? 20? 50?) and log it.

    I gotta admit it was definitely more than 6 chips...

    It was the size of a brown paper lunch bag....it was full...not full when I was done...about 1/4 bag left...jeez that sounds bad :-(

    yum. I would have caused more damage by adding guacamole and cheese.


    Just guess. You know about how many....

    Okay...I went with Tostitos Gold because they were most like that (but sooooo much better...warm and toasty). 22 chips 250 cal...good enough for government work, no? Let me serve as a lesson to everyone...don't wait until you are absolutely starving to eat because at that point I will eat anything...I am just lucky I ran out of salsa...that snapped me out of my hunger induced fugue. :-)
