You can tell you're counting calories when...

You slapped your guys hand when he grabbed a handfull of your carefully measured popcorn on movie night...

Your guy gives you a WTF look when your meat portion is less than half the size of his...

Dinner guests give you a funny look when your plate is mounded with steamed vegies and everyone else is eatting lasagna...

Your freezer is full of home prepared "TV dinners"...

My fave measuring spoon was a 2-TB Starbucks spoon that I dont even know how I came across. But I had gotten in the habit of washing it directly after use because it was so handy. When I saw some the same size at the dollar store I bought several. I use 2 tb of lots of stuff like dressings, toppings, cheese, etc so it's nice to have a scoop rather than measuring out a tablespoon twice.

Sometimes I eat out of measuring cups. Why waste a bowl?

When you finish eating and your plate is as clean as when you started.

When you use your finger to pick up every crumb.

Ha! I do this to. If it's logged, dang it, I want it all!

You email Burger King for the nutritional information of the Bomb Burger you just saw on the telly, because you can't find it on their website.

And then wait more than a day for the reply before you decide whether to to go and buy one or not...

(Yes, I did this :blushing: But it worked - I no longer wanted it when I found out the calories!)

When u go to karaoke and the bar serves peanuts in the shell. And you look it up, a serving is 32 "peas." So u make yourself a little pile on a napkin, careful to choose exactly 16 shells with 2 peas per shell. Your fiance helps himself to one of yours and you say HEY I ALREADY COUNTED AND LOGGED THAT! He thinks you are unhinged so he replaces it with one from the basket and you say NOT THAT ONE! IT HAS 3 PEAS IN IT!

LMAO!

LOL. True story.

- It takes you an extra half-hour or so to do your weekly grocery shopping because you read the label (or compare labels) on everything you haven't purchased before.

- Meal planning involves a compass, a TI-80 graphic calculator, an Excel spreadsheet, and an astronomy chart

Actual LOL!

This sounds good! So, share the info., please, so I can nix it from my "To Eat" list.

You choose to workout instead of revise for upcoming exams (e.g. in 3/4 days) because you went over your calorie limit...

...I did this tonight - felt good about the workout but guilty for not revising...so it evens out I guess

When grocery shopping when you can´t decide, you pick your yoghurt not because you prefer strawberry flavor to vanilla, but because it has 2kcals less.

You get more than just annoyed when you ask for a granola bar and you get a nut bar instead. When asked what´s the difference your answer is "half of the calorie content".

The husband is taking his turn cooking, and presents your plate of food along with a sticky note with all ingredient amounts written down.

Now, that's romance.

OMG, mine did that too. Morroccan chicken with butternut squash and broccoli.
