    I don't. If I'm counting 1 bite of something for the day then I have bigger issues.

    Spot on. I wish I could 'like' this comment.

    Those who are saying don't log little bites be careful. I had 3 jelly babies today which I was shocked to discover had nearly 70 calories. Add another 3 and you've hit 140cal, things slowly add up and mindlessly "biting" can be dangerous to weight loss.

    I also want to be consistent but sometimes you just can't. What you could always try, is putting the whole plate/whatever you're eating from on the scale, and then taking one bite and you'll see the difference? But I stopped doing that because it's only a matter of 10-20 cals and as long you don't do it all day everyday, it shouldn't make a (significant) difference, plus you won't get obsessed (I almost got obsessed logging at one point and it's no fun)

    When I have a 250 calories deficit, just 3 50 calorie bites and a bit of underestimating somewhere wipe off my deficit.

    It definitely adds up... Even one chip with a tablespoon of guacamole is probably 50 calories... or a piece of bread with 1/2 ounce of cheese...

    Typically I just do quick calories though... but I don't really have bites anymore, as I'm wearing dental aligners (which have probably saved me a lot of calories while grocery shopping, lol).
