I recently added a post that got a few people angry about overestimating calorie burns and underestimating general food intake. One person posted that someone logged smoking a cigarette, 20 calories burnt. I want to now what other things have you seen people log that have made you laugh.

    I once saw someone log 2 minutes of food preparation. I think their burn was 5 calories.

    I'm trying to choose between "tossing the salad" or "horizontal mambo" for cardio...

    And then I've seen "sperm" "man cream" and "love juice" in the food sections...

    ...maybe those are more weird than funny though. :laugh:

    I see people logging things like '50 mins of park with my kids' ....like strolling at a toddler's speed from the slide to the swings counts as a work out.

    If you have kids/not a desk job then you will be on your feet more and thus will be burning more calories...just include in your activity level. I just put my calories at 1600 rather than putting them at 1200 and then feeling the need to log every time I carry the baby upstairs or pick up the buggy from the car boot :p

    I've also seen people logging things like cleaning the sink/bath, clothes shopping etc.

    Had to search it on the database , "Sperm - White Gloupy Consistency"' . Apparently one tea spoon is 10 calories and it comes in a container of 3 tea spoon.

    I guess some people really take serious the logging everything they put in their mouth.

    Yeah, I imagine if it's something you do everyday, like smoke or prep your food, you shouldn't count it. A certain amount of calories expended doing these types of tasks is already included by default when you choose you "daily activity level" in your profile. A person who logs little things like this will end up defeating their own efforts.

    That said, the people on here getting their shorts in a knot over other peoples' logs need to mind their own. I have seen some truly snotty, self-righteous people on these boards, and (last time I checked) condescension never helped anyone lose any weight.

    ;)

    Having gone to the park with my five year old niece, I could see someone logging that. Because it's not just casually walking between swings. It's running around the park, pushing her on every imaginable piece of equipment, it's climbing up all of the various climbing apparatuses available, it's lifting and lowering her on the teeter totter because she's too light to do it herself (did you know those things are also tightened/leaf-springed these days? I have no idea how little kids can move those things!), and all other kinds of assorted activities.

    While I don't personally log it, since I only log actual workouts, someone who doesn't workout at all could probably log something like that. I come back from our outings at the park sweaty and worn the heck out.

    I've seen playing guitar and mowing grass on a riding lawn mower. Not anywhere near as strange as some of the ones you guys are posting.

    Drying hair, showering and leg shaving. Same person, obviously spends a lot of time on vigorous grooming techniques.

    I've seen brushing teeth multiple times actually. Though I normally delete those folks pretty quick.
