NO!! Don't serve me! I'll serve myself! *takes out measuring cups*
hahahahaha! My Fiance complains about this ALL the time! He goes "I'd serve you, but you've gotta get your cups and spoons out first!" Hahahahahaha! :laugh:0 -
Awesome thread !
Hubby measures all my fruits and yogurt in my smoothie and gives me a post-it with info.
Took my food scale and measuring cups and spoons on vaction (and of course my magic bullet).
Keep a tablespoon on my keychain for creamer measurements at Wawa.
Take my to go bowls when we go out to eat and portion a few meals out of it.
Have 3 different sets of measuring cups and two sets of measuring spoons.
Oh the list could go on :laugh:0 -
Also sometimes when I am going out to dinner, if I know where then I will check the menu in advance to see what they have and what I want and to be prepared to make a good choice. So, when we get to the restaurant I often know what I want before looking at the menu or after a quick look, even if I've never been there. My husband says, "Wow, you always know so much about the restaurants".0

..you see a new food at the grocery store so you pick it up and turn it around and say "*kitten*, 150 calories, FORGET IT" and put it back. Or when you measure something out with your tablespoon and scrape every last bit out with your finger.0

You get on mfp to log your food
Prep your food the night before, for the following day in measured portions
You eat half your lunch in the am then the other half for a late lunch
You pass up the office candy going around bus it s not worth the calories0 -

You run up and down the stairs twice to get fitbit to give you enough calories to eat that last mince pie.
HA! This!!0 -
The husband is taking his turn cooking, and presents your plate of food along with a sticky note with all ingredient amounts written down.
Now, that's romance.
Now, all you gotta do is get him to track them for you! & he'll be perfect.0 -
You log the ice cream you got for later so you know how many calories to burn during your workout. But you don't work out enough so you skip the ice cream :sad:0

Your coffee is black.0

when you have all the nutritional pages for McDonalds, Subway etc...bookmarked for those days you know you are going to be eating out and quick... looking for the low cal, low sodium meal.0

You slapped your guys hand when he grabbed a handfull of your carefully measured popcorn on movie night...
Your guy gives you a WTF look when your meat portion is less than half the size of his...
Dinner guests give you a funny look when your plate is mounded with steamed vegies and everyone else is eatting lasagna...
Your freezer is full of home prepared "TV dinners"...0 -
When u go to karaoke and the bar serves peanuts in the shell. And you look it up, a serving is 32 "peas." So u make yourself a little pile on a napkin, careful to choose exactly 16 shells with 2 peas per shell. Your fiance helps himself to one of yours and you say HEY I ALREADY COUNTED AND LOGGED THAT! He thinks you are unhinged so he replaces it with one from the basket and you say NOT THAT ONE! IT HAS 3 PEAS IN IT!0

My fave measuring spoon was a 2-TB Starbucks spoon that I dont even know how I came across. But I had gotten in the habit of washing it directly after use because it was so handy. When I saw some the same size at the dollar store I bought several. I use 2 tb of lots of stuff like dressings, toppings, cheese, etc so it's nice to have a scoop rather than measuring out a tablespoon twice.
Sometimes I eat out of measuring cups. Why waste a bowl?0 -
I have become the Rain Man of calories. I'm sure I've become obnoxious to my family because I tell them the calories in just about everything in the house.
Oh, and counting out portions of snacks. Pretzels, chips, etc.0 -
When you finish eating and your plate is as clean as when you started.
When you use your finger to pick up every crumb.
Ha! I do this to. If it's logged, dang it, I want it all!0 -
Yeah, I don't get it either!I'm confused.
You say you have "chocolate in your fridge for months that you can't quite bring yourself to 'spend' your calories on."
What is this concept?0 -
You email Burger King for the nutritional information of the Bomb Burger you just saw on the telly, because you can't find it on their website.
And then wait more than a day for the reply before you decide whether to to go and buy one or not...
(Yes, I did this :blushing: But it worked - I no longer wanted it when I found out the calories!)0 -

LOL. True story.- 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!

This sounds good! So, share the info., please, so I can nix it from my "To Eat" list.0 -
All very funny and true.0

You choose to workout instead of revise for upcoming exams (e.g. in 3/4 days) because you went over your calorie limit...
...I did this tonight - felt good about the workout but guilty for not revising...so it evens out I guess

When you drop your spoon and in front of everyone your friend dives to pick it up and says "quick lick it! You already ****ed the calories!":blushing:0

When grocery shopping when you can´t decide, you pick your yoghurt not because you prefer strawberry flavor to vanilla, but because it has 2kcals less.
You get more than just annoyed when you ask for a granola bar and you get a nut bar instead. When asked what´s the difference your answer is "half of the calorie content".0 -
You know the exact calorie count for at least two different meals on the menu at every restaurant in a 5 mile radius of home or office... by heart0
