Are you 100% honest with your food diary?

Everything but condiments. I just can't get too worked up about logging my ketchup. I probably should but I don't. If it seems like my losses are affected I would though but right now it's not an issue so I let it go.0

i never used to be...
but then i locked my diary and i'm 99% honest now0 -
At the moment yes, as I am still trying to lose, if I was maintaining or trying to bulk then might be less deligent0
-
Lately I haven't been, and that needs to change......0

Usually yes... even it the items are calorie free (sweetener) I will log it... but, I forgot to log the 1/2 serving of sriracha I had with my dinner.... but not logging that isn't going to make me gain when I keep the deficit I have... I log most of the stuff, but sometimes I forget.0

I don't usually log spices and condiments but if I feel that I have had alot of these I will do a quick calorie add. Sometimes I might forgot something, but for the most part I am honest. No reason lying to myself.0
-
I don't log things that are 5 or less calories, tea or coffee (I don't use sugar and that teaspoon of fat free milk has less than 10 calories), spices, gum, that one pumpernickle pretzel stick that my coworker let me try...
I don't like/eat condiments so there is nothing to log.0 -
I don't log healthy snacks that I sometimes have after dinner. Mainly because I don't want to log in again. I've been doing this long enough that I know it won't hurt me, as long as I'm still under.0

95%0

Yep. The only person I would be cheating is myself!0
-
pretty much, i may forget to add salad dressings or condiments...but for the most part i'd say 95% honest ...stil having a hard time detemining size of portions, need a scale0
-
Every single calorie! I measure on my food scale and enter the exact amount. Woop some extra work involved but pays off
Me too. It's amazing what you 'thought' a serving was - then you actually weigh/measure it. That little scale comes in handy!!0 -
all of it, even when over0
-
probably the only thing I miss is when I eat a sample at the grocery store/Costco, but then again how many calories is a small bite of something?0
-
For the most part yes. I dont record multivitamin calories, gum or drink mix calories...mostly because they are either to small or i forget about them.0

ABSOLUTELY! The only person your cheating is your self, if you deceive your self, what else in life are you willing to deceive.
Agreed. Especially if your diary is closed....no one sees it. If you don't log it all you will never be able to find out where you are going wrong in your life change. I even list the cinnamon in my oatmeal in the morning. If it goes pass the lips it goes in my diary.0 -
Absolutely honest. Lying is only lying to myself and that's pretty pointless.
What she said.0 -
I record EVERYTHING. Spices, condiments, the smallest dash or pat of anything goes in my diary. I am OCD when it comes to that thing.0
