    Yes, but it's no accident.

    My breakroom serves muffins.

    The most decadent, moist, beautiful chocolate muffins ive ever seen.

    I ate a muffin for breakfast, thinking the whole muffin was 320 calories.

    Turns out there are two servings in the muffin. So I accidently downed 740 calories before breakfast, in one muffin.

    Oops.

    haha right on
    my calorie limit is set to ~1500 so it seems like it's taking up most of my food for the day, but my main goal is to improve my eating habits so as long as i stay under 2200 i'm not worried

    We regularly make 800-900 calories breakfasts/brunches on weekends, but it's a substitute for breakfast and lunch and is followed with a mid-afternoon snack and a reasonable dinner. It's nice to break up the routine a bit.

    I intentionally have large calorie dinners and after dinner snacks.

    Eat all the foods!

    I actually prelog everything BEFORE I eat. It makes it easier to adjust things.
    I'll give you an example: I'm making homemade nachos tonight. Since it will be higher in calories, breakfast and lunch have been altered to allow dinner calories.
    I get out all the ingredients and write down how many calories are in everything. Then I decide, based on the total calories of the dish, how big I'll make the portions. I do all this as I'm eating breakfast. Makes logging so much less complicated.

    Accidentally make the high calorie food? No. Do I eat it? Hell yeah!! Does it worry me? Hell no!! When I decide to eat a lot (or most) of my calories in the morning, I'm sure I'll be satisfied til dinnertime. :drinker:

    Yes, on occasion. It usually disturbs me quite a bit. I normally skip breakfast or have a very large coffee with milk because my calorie max is very low.

    I have. Not really an accident. Sometimes it actually fills me up enough until 1pm though so it puts me back on track, it's when it doesn't that it sucks.

    Recently. I forget what it was, but I wish I had looked it up before I ate it. Live and learn.

    I'm a little too focused at the moment to make this mistake. I don't eat anything unless I know the nutritional information almost exactly. Which can be very frustrating as I never substitute anything at restaurants and when I do eat out its only at places that have everything posted online, which stinks because I live in Panama City beach and we have amazing local restaurants! And if I cook it at home, I scale everything like a crazed person. The only thing I don't count is my added salt which I probably should. But other than that, every mustard packet, stevia packet, drop of teriyaki or oil is added and logged. It's a little frustrating because sometimes I fear I'll get tired of all this effort and just stop caring. Lol but the good news is if you log it and log it correctly, you can always burn it off!

    I didn't accidentally have eggs benedict with peameal bacon on the weekend, but yes, I now regret it.
