Would you log 3 grapes?

    I would eat enough to make it half a cup, or even a third of one cup. Then I could log it without feeling too silly.

    I log everything just because where do you draw the line?

    If I eat 10 "just a bites" of 10 different things throughout the day, then that adds up.

    It's easier just to log everything.


    This. I logged half of a dried apricot yesterday.

    I'll log the 3 grapes and if anyone offers me food I won't log like one crisp or a stick of gum as i know there'll only be like 5 cals in them at the most, but if they offer me anything bigger, like the welshcake I had earlier this week, I will log it.

    I'm really bad about logging stuff over the weekend and I just remembered I ate 3 grapes and I forgot to log them. It got me thinking, if other people out there go to that extreme to make sure they log everything. I also find myself avoiding little snacks just because I don't want to log them. For example like if a co-worker offers me a stick of gum, I'll say no for the sole reason of not wanting to log it :noway: .

    ha ha.......is this a sick joke?

    For those of you that log in those 3 grapes, do you also log in walking up 3 flights of stairs as part of your cardio exercise for the day? I see this come up as some people's status updates and it never occurred to me to log either one.

    There are no negative calorie foods (http://www.answerfitness.com/269/negative-calorie-foods-fact-fiction/ and http://realdoctorstu.com/2012/04/11/does-eating-celery-burn-calories-the-science-about-negative-calorie-diets-finally/)

    And yes, I would log the grapes. Logging everything discourages mindless eating, at least for me.

    I would never eat just three grapes.

    But no I don't tend to log little meaningless bites like that just like I don't bother logging in taking five flights of steps at work.

    I'd log them because I need to.....my dietician is trying to figure out why I only eat 50-80% of my daily calorific requirements yet can't lose any weight beyond 3 kilos

    No if it was the only "bite" of something I had.
    If I have a couple bites here and there then I do count them.

    Exactly. I probably would have burned the grapes off by cooking for almost two hours today o_O

    Nope, I don't bother. Too much of a chore and the moment I find that this is more work than it's worth will be the moment where I start slipping. Ultimately, in the end, I never want to have to physically count calories again. I just want to be better trained in knowledge in how many calories I've probably consumed in the day.

    I do because I am a 'mindless eater' I can just nibble on things all day and never notice (at least I used to). Yes it's a pain in the butt to weigh and measure everything but it keeps me honest and I figure if I get in the habit of not logging things it will just progress back to just eating all the time so I kind of have to do it.

    I would have taken the gum.

    ha ha ha but would you log it?

    If you don't swallow the gum, do you have to log it? What if you only chew it until half the flavor is gone and then spit it out? Do you just log half a piece of gum?
