How many calories should I count for licking stuff off my fingers? My fingers are small, so maybe a teaspoon for each finger?

    Lol. I like to cup my hands and scoop food into my mouth. Is that an entire cup?

    Do you really have that much stuff on your fingers or is it a super high calorie batter or whatever for it to really matter?

    Obviously it depends on how long your fingernails are. View them as five or ten mini-bowl shaped scoops and adjust accordingly. :laugh:

    The exact amount is .91 tsp per finger, except for thumbs, which come in at 1.27 tsp each.

    It mostly depends on the stuff. I was eating doritos today and the nacho cheese powder on my fingers was about two grams per digit. But, I was dipping them in a mix of ranch and bleu cheese dressing, and after I finished the bowl, I ran my finger around it sort of like you do with extra cake batter? That was more like 10 grams per finger.

    and what about beaters?
    I was wondering this yesterday whilst making (and cleaning up rather un-hygenically) a cake...

    It only counts if you lick stuff off someone else's fingers.

    Am I the only one who is going to go with 'Show me and I'll tell you'?

    Disagree! I think that it shouldn't count if you lick it off someone else's fingers as you will most likely be burning it off later!

    I'm not sure if I should take out a restraining order or set up a webcam with you Cris.

    I'm shaking my finger at you.

    It may or may not be covered in .91g of Nutella.

    Ahh, thus...the webcam!

    That .91g may or may not be accurate by the way. Only one way to tell :).

    You need to do a body fat scan of your fingers, its the only way to be sure.

    Don't forget to account for the cheez vapor that you inhale when opening a fresh bag. That's gotta count for 10 calories AT LEAST!

    Shamefully, I have to admit that in my younger, chubbier days I did have a problem with dorito huffing.

    Don't forget to skip fingers to incorporate muscle confusion.

    I usually just throw all 5 fingers into the peanut butter jar. I figure if I'm jsut licking my fingers, it shouldn't count.

    Wow, your peanut butter jar is loose. I can barely fit two fingers into mine...
