Should you still log even of you vomited ?

Ate breakfast, took new multi vitamin and ended up purging everything from nausea. Should I just log the purge, delete everything or keep it as is, and just make a note ?

    This happened to me the other day! I took some medication and forgot I'm supposed to take it with food. I started to feel really sick so I ate a bunch of peanuts super quick, hoping it would help. Well I ended up puking up everything 2 minutes later.

    I didn't count the peanuts.

    I would honestly just keep it logged. If you are throwing it up, you obviously won't be able to meet your calorie goal for the day. Make a note for yourself and just take it easy with some ginger ale and crackers. Tomorrow will be a new day. :)

    It's impossible to know how many calories your body was able to assimilate before you vomited.

    I think it's just one of those things. It's impossible to be militant about calorie counting all the time. I would keep the food in the diary with a note that you vomited and why/what time. Don't worry about it too much, track your food for the rest of the day but don't worry about the calorie count and just pick it back up tomorrow.

    I've had the norovirus stomach flu for two days. I still logged even though nothing stayed down yesterday.

    I figured it didn't matter since I ate a total of like 300 calories yesterday anyways.

    I'd just make note of it, and if you go over in calories at the end of the day by a little, don't worry about it.

    I had that same issue with a women's daily multivitamin. Couldn't ever eat it at breakfast time. It worked better eating it at the end of the day after having meals.

    Eat the vomit and then your weigh in will still be accurate

    Don't you have a food scale? weigh the vomit and subtract the weight from what you ate. What are you, a rookie?

    Hahaha...the thought. Just ewww

    Maybe just log it as half? If you threw up shortly after taking the pills/feeling the nausea I doubt your body had much time to absorb all of the calories. I'd play it safe and just log half, that way if you get your appetite back later you won't overeat, but you won't be restricting yourself too much either.

    This is probably the best advice.

    I believe you should still count the calories you consume. Nausea/vomiting happens to me when I take multis with food, but now I wait 15 min after you eat and I am fine. Try it
