I was making my son a PB&J and got jam on my finger. Out of habit I licked it off. I'm trying to be very accountable for EVERY calorie I take in, so, how or do I log that? Or am I being crazy? Lol Help!

    I'd probably log it as one gram.

    weigh your clean hand on a scale, then put jam on your finger and re-weigh your hand. Once you have figured out your jam-to-finger ratio, and how many calories that would be, you can log it as twice the amount to account for the previous jam-fingers.

    Hopefully someone else can think of a more sane suggestion.

    No I think you nailed it.

    I think you are being crazy but if you want to log it you could look at the calories in a serving of the jam and just put in the calories for 1/4 of a serving of jam. It will probably be something like 8 calories which is probably more than you had in a tiny drop of jam. You could log it if you think less than 8 calories is going to really impact you.

    Crazy. Your punishment is 10 jumping jacks and add 5 quick add calories to your diary.

    Edited - oh wait I thought you licked peanut butter - for jam it is 3 jumping jacks and 2 quick adds. :)

    Log it as cardio... oh wait, you weren't talking about that kind of finger lick.

    Crazy, but, if you post in a few weeks saying that this isn't working and you weighed everything, well...you'll be the first I believe. :P

    But uh, yeah, logging a "finger lick" is getting into the crazy territory. Unless of course you consume all your calories a single finger lick at a time.



    This all sounds so horribly wrong.

    Thanks for all the friendly advice lol I guess I'm really going overkill this time around because I'm so tired of being fat and this is the longest I've ever commited, a measly 5 days. But so far I've lost 5 pounds so what I'm doing is working! Thanks:)

    Above would work.

    However IMO a sane solution is to ignore it and move on or log it as a tiny guestimate amount like 5 grams.

    In reality you won't be able to log everything to the exact calorie degree anyway.
