I was really sick yesterday and although I tried to eat multiple times the only thing that would stay down was a slice of pizza and some cheerios. I even had trouble keeping water down. So my question comes down to, should I record what I ate even though it came back up or just record the stuff that stayed down?

    Everything you ate. It'd be pointless to judge how much you may have thrown back up and you already know you're under your calories for the day so there's no concern of understating it.

    If it was me and I was vomiting sick, I wouldn't even log, but if you really want to, I'd log only what stayed down.

    I just dealt with that this weekend. I logged what I kept down, which is less than the stomach acid that I lost! I'm much better but I'm still dealing with it. Just try to keep hydrated!

    Pizza? Really?!

    Skip it. You're sick and probably couldn't judge your intake correctly. Plus any gain or loss in weight a day or two afterwards can probably be atributed to imbalances in your body. Don't bother.

    I wouldn't log either. I know you want to stay accountable, but if you can't keep most food down, I wouldn't worry about logging. Take care of yourself, get better, and start logging again :). I hope you feel better.

    One day of inaccurate logging is not going to matter- I'd log it all

    yes oddly enough. It was at the end of the day, I still had a fever and had finally stopped throwing up by that time. Although I could only stomach the one slice. I guess I'll just leave it at what I know stayed down. :) Thanks for the responses.

    Maybe you should still log it, but in the notes section just put 'ate pizza, kept food down for 1/2 hour'.

    I asked this question once and was told that if it stayed down for at least 20 minutes to log it.

    Hope you are feeling better.
