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!

zMMMMMMMMmmmmmMmmmm 0 cals<==== like that.
Wait did you mean your own finger?0 -
I'd probably log it as one gram.0

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.0 -

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.0

700 calories. More than if you just made yourself the sandwich.0

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.0 -

Log it as cardio... oh wait, you weren't talking about that kind of finger lick.0 -
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. :P0

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:)0

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.
