When you mislog foods and end up eating more

anniebonnie

Yep just happened to me today. I accidentally entered in 75g of stoned dates as 7.5g...and only AFTER I finished eating a much larger snack than I should've did I realize my mistake-.- tonight we're having stir fried shrimp and veggies for dinner with white rice, so my day isn't completely ruined:) I'll just have to limit myself a bit tonight haha

What do you guys do when things like this happen? Just curious, and thanks for answering!

I would either cut the rice, exercise for the extra calories, or not worry about it and start fresh tomorrow!

No stress, one fluff won't make you gain fat!

I can't say that's ever happened to me -- I'm always very curious about the calorie total of what I've just eaten, so if I mis-entered a quantity and the calorie total was way lower than expected, I'd notice right away and fix it.

Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't sometimes wind up eating snacks or meals that wind up being more caloric than I'd expected... in that case I either try to lighten up my meals for the rest of the day so that I can stick to my goal, make sure I get some exercise in to earn back some calories, or I just accept that this will be one of the rare days I go over!

Agree with above. Revise your food plans for the rest of the day and/or add a workout. Otherwise just suck it up and move on. It happens to all of us, not worth worrying too much about it and you'll likely be more careful next time. Pesky decimal points.

I think I'll just suck it up and move on:) I've already done my exercise for today so that's basically the only choice I have lol. No way am I getting rid of my rice- we were made for each other!

Your lucky if it's never happened to you before

A hundred years from now, who's gonna know the difference?

Don't sweat the little stuff.

Generally I go, "whoops! haha! I thought something looked off today"

work out longer or say screw it.

That's happened to me before. I just chalk it up as a lesson learned and move on.

I usually plan my meals and snacks for the day in the morning and often pre-log so I'm not as tempted to go off course.

I just try to ignore it and move on, telling myself that the next day will be better... I mean, if I try to burn off the calories, I can get a bit obsessive about it / under eat - that's just me though ^,^
