is up with people eating .5 cup milk with a quarter cup cereal?
Half a slice of bacon with 2/3 of an egg?
HOW DO YOU EAT 2/3 OF AN EGG!?
AM I MISSING SOMETHING OR IS EATING LIKE a bird
The trendy thing to do?



PS.I'll eat the whole package of bacon dipped in some syrup stacked on top
Of a creme filled jelly donut before I fall victim to the half slice cult!

    1) Small bowl

    2) I want the taste of bacon but already had a big breakfast.

    Ok, the 2/3 if an egg is a but much, but I cut bacon in half when I fry it. Always have, it's just easier. I sometimes will only eat 1/2 a strip.

    If you scrambled 3 eggs and shared with 1 person, you would have a fraction of an egg. Also, when I am entering blueberries, for breakfast I put a few blueberries with sliced strawberries, I only use 6 berries, but there is no measure for a single berry so I put 1/8 of a serving which equals 6.2 berries. SO it is not exactly how many I had but as close as I get. Sometimes you just have to guess. Also, if I am snacking between my work out and dinner I will have half a serving of cereal with .25 or .5 cup of milk.

    Well if I started to eat a whole egg and didn't finish it because I didn't want all of it I'd probably record it that way.

    People logging food without a food scale.

    Trying to use an egg white but part of the yolk fell in and you want to be as *accurate* as possible = 2/3 of one egg rounding.

    1/2 c of milk is perfectly reasonable for cereal...but not when there is only 1/4 c of cereal.

    I got a bit obsessive about logging food like this and I've had MUCH worse "bird" like qualities to my logging. I'd "peck" around at a lot of small things and still log them because I knew those were my sneaky calories. I needed to keep myself in check and be as honest with myself as possible :D

    There CAN be a method to people's madness.

    You eat 2/3 of an egg by cooking one and sharing it with someone else ;)

    I use .75 a cup of mile for 5 cups of cereal. I don't need my cereal swimming in milk. This leaves about a teaspoon left after I eat the cereal. If I wanted to drink milk, I'd drink milk.

    I'll go .5 of the buffet at golden corral
    And 2/3 of the way to eating braums out of business.
    those portions sound more reasonable.
