    Pretty much the a same.... don't always measure green veggies either. More of a guesstimate I suppose. . Then again its more about getting a general idea than an exact figure to me. I'll she the exact science things your a tons when I need to fine things things.

    did you have a stroke while typing that last sentence?!

    I literally cried from laughter.


    What exactly are we trying to say here? Spell check!!!:laugh: :noway:

    Anything with zero calories.
    Food I taste off my bf's plate (I also don't lower my calories for what he nabs off my plate)
    Sometimes I get lazy about recording things that have very few calories (like 15)

    Spell check only helps with misspelled words.

    Zero-cal anything.
    If I take a bite out of something (yep, gonna log .01 of something).
    Vegetables most of the time.
    Anything under a certain amount of calories, like 30 or 50. Just seems useless to obsess over that many calories.

    When I have a snack attack late at night I sometimes don't log it.
    Or if I go to a friends place for dinner and its too damned difficult to log, or my wife brings home something so yummy that its in my mouth before my brain kicks in and then I'm too guilty to log it.
    Thankfully, my gym activity is mainly cardio based and the rest of my diet is pretty good.
    But when I am being good - spices I don't log.
    kind regards,

    Ben

    Usually I tend to leave out brown sugar unless it's part of a recipe or something.

    Same for spices.

    I didn't log my ginger ale intake when I was sick with the flu awhile ago. xD

    Between this and the dead body/no paper trail post, this is the funniest thread I've seen so far. Thanks for making me laugh hard enough to bring tears to my eyes. I'm on my way to work and it's not going to be a nice shift.

    I never thought about logging vitamins, this is a good reminder to look at the labels and see what's there. I try to log everything, but of course things fall by the wayside. I'm better at it then the last time I tried it years ago doing Weight Watchers. It's kind of a pain when you make something and have to find each ingredient, but I'm trying to stay on top of that.

    Thanks again for the ideas and the laughter :laugh:

    If I ever have hard candy (e.g. a mint) I don't bother logging it. Mainly because I only do when I'm super stressed and I'm usually on my feet a lot more on those days, anyways. I don't log tea, either, or the half-pinch of salt I put in with my oatmeal.

    I didn't used to log my spices until I learned how many calories were in them!!! I use a TON of Chili powder and garlic/onion powder and they definitely have enough calories to count.... Now a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg?, no I don't bother, but a few tablespoons of Chilipowder? ABSOLUTELY.

    I don't log cough syrup or sugar free cough drops. I don't log sugar free gum. I don't log coffee or tea, but I do log the skim milk that I use in it. I don't log stevia. I don't log the squeeze of lemon that I put on my fish, but I do log when I put a WHOLE lemon in my green juice. I don't log vitamins but I do log them if they're chewable.

    That guy I killed.

    No paper trail.

    This made me laugh. I am going to be in Vegas at the end of the month don't think I can log anything while I am out there. I think it is against the local laws, happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Hope I don't bring too much of it back with me in the form of extra pounds.

    Splenda (no calories) & diet soda (no calories).

    I don't have soda very often but when I go out drinking, I'll order "diet 7up & southern comfort" "Rum & diet coke" etc instead of high calorie juice cocktails. Diet soda has no calories so I just log the alcohols/liquors put in my drinks...

    I log everything else otherwise... Splash of soymilk in my coffee, the greasy/junk food day, 1 tsp margarine on my toast, etc.

    Splenda has calories...sucralose doesn't though, but it's not packaged as plain sucralose.

    Soylent green
    Splenda
    Water
    The 3 tootsie rolls I just ate.
    Roadkill
    Spider ankles
    Eye of newt
    Sometimes I forget to log a bit of honey I put in my tea.
    I don't log additional exercise, like walking my dog, if I already worked out.
    I don't log my legs, but sometimes I don't shave often enough and I should. At least I'd get paid for it.
    Gummie vitamins.

    I don't log black coffee (I log the stuff I put IN my coffee) or unsweetened tea. I don't use artificial sweetners.

    I don't add most spices except those loaded with sodium (trying to keep that under control). For example, I don't log chili powder, but I would log taco seasoning.

    I don't log iceburg lettuce. It's pointless to log it as it is pretty much the nutritional content of cardboard. I do log spring-mix salads because I like to see how I'm doing on the nutrient front since I don't take vitamins (and had never had a deficiency, so I'm not going to).

    I don't keep track of my water. I know how much I drink because it is habit. I drink 50 ounces a day, plus other liquids like coffee and tea.

    I weight or measure EVERYTHING I log. No guessing.

    I don't log my work. I'm a manager for an Italian restaurant, And I'm on my feet for like 45 hours a week. I know I'm burning calories, but don't log them. Should I?

    I'm a server at a high volume restaurant and on my feel 35 hours a week. I just got a fitbit and am SHOCKED at just how active I am. 20,000 steps on a busy night. I've upped my calories and am still on track. I say log some of it or change your profile settings to active/very active!

    I read this 10 minutes ago and I'm still laughing. I had to come back and read it again.

    I don't log green tea (I don't put it anything in it). I also usually forget to track my water but I drink a ton every day so I'm not really concerned about it.

    I didn't know we were suppose to log spices . . . I don't log those either. And I season my cooking . . . didn't know they contained calories. I do log everything else however.
