    You weigh any meat, chicken or fish you have after it is cooked and when out can visually guesstimate calories/ounces.

    You feel guilty if you go a little over your daily allowance of calories

    You feel guilty because your life is so busy you had no time to workout. And yet, you probably ran around and burned lots of calories you know nothing about. Can't wear my HRM all day. :)

    - It takes you an extra half-hour or so to do your weekly grocery shopping because you read the label (or compare labels) on everything you haven't purchased before.

    - Meal planning involves a compass, a TI-80 graphic calculator, an Excel spreadsheet, and an astronomy chart

    Actual LOL! :D

    love these comments. LOL

    I do that for mine! (Sometimes even with scannable barcodes handed to him.) He always smiles at me and tells me that he loves me for doing it, it's very sweet. :D

    You allow yourself some toast as a treat. It puts you just over your calories for the day, but it's ok this once. You've had a hard week, after all. :|

    Haha. I totally do this.

    - you count the chips in the chocolate chip cookies and take the one with the least amount in it.

    ....instead of being at the gym for x amount of time, u stay till u reach a certain calorie burn

    ....u buy a pack of snack for the movies and count every piece u eat while watching cause u only allowed urself 200 cals and cant eat the whole bag

    .....u examine the plate for 10 minutes before eating the food when ur at a restaurant to estimate how many calories it has, then leave out small pieces that 'arent worth the calories'

    ....u have to pull out the calculator to figure out what 235 cals per 100g of x actually is (this is how labels are in Norway sigh)
