    1. What on earth is a grapefruit doing in a package?
    2. Check the database. A grapefruit is approximately 100 calories. Log the whole grapefruit, if you ate one it was 100 calories. If you ate half is was 50. Don't over think it.

    I am going to over think it. Think about it. Calories are the difference between being able to eat more, or eat less. If I want to have more or splurge later on, you bet your *kitten* I am going to weigh the **** out of things before I eat it. That is called honest weight loss. Period.

    Or you could realize that there is always going to be a margin of error when counting calories and not drive yourself nuts over 5 calories worth of grapefruit peel. Even nutrition information on boxed food has a margin of error of up to 20% allowed by law! It is impossible to be 100% accurate, no matter how careful you are.
