    If I end up eating all my breakfast for the week on Saturday (I eat bars). I still log it for the next Monday thru Friday.

    It ends up being the same calories for the week, but I just don't like those red numbers.

    I do something like this occasionally. If I have a late night snack that sets me over a fair amount, I'll log it on the next day.

    If I make a recipe where I know I'll be eating the whole thing and portion it out, any crumbs/small pieces that fall off are fair game for an emergency snack at any time and don't get logged separately (or subtracted from the portion).

    I buy those large containers of yogurt and weigh out one serving when I'm ready to eat it. Sometimes, I weigh out a serving, but I have some residual yogurt on the spoon, so I eat that too and don't log it.

    Sometimes I don't like seeing the junk food I eat on my log so if I eat say a 190 calorie candy bar I will log 190 calories of vegetables/protein instead. :ohwell:

    When weighing my kettle corn or kashi cereal, if a few peices hit the counter, i eat them. Also, hummus- whatever sticks to the spoon is log-free!

    Once I measure out yogurt/sour cream/peanut butter and lick the spoon, that doesn't get logged

    I don't log gum (and I eat a lot of it to keep from snacking) and I don't log the salt I put on my food. I'm scared to see the sodium number go that high.

    I flossed and didn't weigh the floss before and after so I couldn't subtract and eat back the calories I missed from that. I'll probably be hitting starvation mode any minute now.

    Im a food hoard. For example i make popcorn on the regular and i can have 5cups for 100cals (theyre 100 cal bags) and if my boyfriend asks for a handful i always have to be a jerk and say "nope, cant, its counted." I also hate when i have something good at work for dinner and my friends at work ask to try it and i have to hand some over......like uggghhhh that was COUNTED. Im also a spoon licker :p.

    If I miss a day I tell myself "Oh well better start over on Monday." For some reason I feel like I can only start things on Mondays.
    Missing Tuesday makes for a delicious week of self-loathing.

    theres an 'x all the y' meme's about this lol

    You guys are MONSTERS I tell you! lol

    I am good at logging for a bit and then I have a bad eating day and I fall off my wagon. Then it takes me forever to get back on it.

    No wonder I'm stalled.

    I do reverse cheating. I'll log a face yogurt 2% instead of the 0%… Or an 8 oz steak instead of a 6 oz. i'll exercise an extra 15 minutes and not log that amount.

    I'd rather go over a bit on these thing.s…to make up for any slip-ups in food labels and of course operator error.

    I lick the spoon when measuring out gelato... Then I lick the bowl so nothing goes to waste.

    That's how it's supposed to be done! :drinker:

    I don't log alcohol. At all. Even when I drink a lot.

    - I'm not super meticulous with my morning coffee logging. I measured out the amount of cream needed to make it to my liking once, and now I just guesstimate by looking at the color.

    - I measure/weigh out frozen yogurt, gelato, ice cream etc., but before doing so I take a spoonful out of the container (for quality control purposes of course) that I don't log.

    I just made flapjacks - for a charity bake sale. All of the calories went into the whole flapjacks, didn't they? There can't possibly be any in the 2 broken ones I ate, can there? (I tried to resist, I really did, but they smelt so good!)

    Well, if I don't log them they aren't real, right?

    :)
