What things do you refuse to log?
Replies
-
Alcohol. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but if I logged my booze I would never be able to eat0
-
supplements.0
-
My omega 3 tablet which is apparently 10 calories0
-
I never thought of this as food--communion hosts and wine.0

I would always log ketchup because I always thought it was fairly high in sugar?
I don't log the milk I have in tea because its not as much but if I have coffee I'll log the milk because its a lot more, not the coffee though.
I also don't always log oil I use for cooking though I admit I probably should even if I use barely any...
I also don't log spices or salt as I'm not really counting sodium or potassium. I look at the sodium value of all the foods I have without added salt and that's always a lot under so I don't feel bad about occasionally adding salt.
I don't log any teas as they're essentially 0 calories or sweeteners. I'd go crazy if I did.0 -
I didn't know that about wine, that's very helpful Thank you! That ought to help in the future!0
-
I don't log my strength training at all. I may start now that I have my HRM...but I don't log every rep of every set of anything. Cardio, I log.0
-
I log alcohol up until I lose count lol oh dear that sounds awful but it is hard to keep count if you are at an event as such.0
-
Whipped cream and vitamins. I refuse to buy into the notion that whipped cream is made of anything other than love, sunshine and unicorn farts. And those are calorie-free.0

Earlier this evening I was closing out today's journal and wondered if people do log communion wafers.
There are, in fact entries.0 -

thnat is hilarious!!!0 -
I never log my alcohol. I go out with my friends maybe once or twice a month, and I just go and have a blast and don't worry about calories. I feel like if I did log them, they would make me feel bad about going out and I figure there's nothing wrong with a guilt free night on the town every once in awhile and I'm not going to try and log it and beat myself up over it.0
-
If it goes in my mouth i log it..... Except taking a taste of something im cooking to c if its ok. I always log my gum lol!! I must b the only one0
-
Dried herbs, usually because I forget how much I add and I'm only cooking for 2 so I'm not very heavy handed on them.0
-
I log everything that has calories. And water.

I don't log water, or anything that's zero calories. I don't log gum or any pills, those are not what made me fat lol.0
-
Seasonings. I'm not worried about salt intake, and I don't really measure when I sprinkle some garlic powder or italian seasonings on a piece of chicken, so I just figure it's not a big deal. 5-10 calories isn't going to break my weight loss.0
-
No cal drinks (water, diet coke, mio, etc), coffee/tea, vitamins.... that's about it. Still logging tbsp's of ketchup lol here0
-
I don't log water. Other than that I log everything. It's the only way I can keep myself honest. There are things I hate to log, because it is painful for me emotionally....but that is another question, isn't it?0
-
sugar free jam, mustard, ketchup/relish sometimes, water.0
-
I log everything (except vitamins and medicine)! I am anal when it comes to logging and I measure everything I eat.0
-
WOW bootjockey you rock. Anyway back to subject. like many i dont log gum,teas w/o anything except splenda and tiny breath mints. started logging my indian buffet trips which caused me to go down to one plate plus dessert. Glad/sad i did that, i guess best to know what the damage is than not knowing.0
-
dont log anything 0 calories (including water)
dont log gum (usually I have one a week)
dont log all the hours I walk a day neither cleaning (I work bartending, so I walk a lot usually pretty fast)0 -
Whipped cream and vitamins. I refuse to buy into the notion that whipped cream is made of anything other than love, sunshine and unicorn farts. And those are calorie-free.
we should be friends0 -
When I log condiments like ketchup and pickle relish and tapenade, I generally log whatever 1 serving of it is, and try to stay close to that measurement without actually measuring.
So like, if I put ketchup on a veggie burger, I'm not first pouring that ketchup in a measuring spoon but "eyeballing" a tablespoon.
Pouring every condiment into a measuring thing feels wasteful and then I have to wash it etc.0 -
Diet soda. I drink a ton of it. It has zero calories. All I'm counting is calories. Therefore...
this!!!0 -
things that are 0 calories all around. teas... that kind of stuff.0
-
Dried herbs, spices (except salt) and sugar-free cordial (at ~1cal/litre it's just make-work)0
-
I wouldn't say I 'refuse' to log these things, but I don't log spices or gum. If I forget mustard or vinegar the odd time, I don't worry too much about that either.
I don't log any regular activities as exercise - such as cleaning, taking the stairs instead of an elevator, walking while grocery shopping.0 -
I usually don't log spices and seasoning unless its more than a tbsp.. soya sauce and extra ketchup are usually my main condiments in my log heh. I workout everyday so sometimes it just seems ridiculous to bother logging it when I know I haven't gone overboard.0
