Dealing with FOOD DIARY police

You are obviously destined to be my MFP husband.

I must admit, there was a delay in my response for legitimate reasons. I'm not easily fooled by good looks, and as such had to first consult the taco thread before any serious consideration here.

But as the first taco eating response on that thread, I'm really into this idea now!





It would be interesting to start a thread on a daily meal plan - "what did you eat today" type thing that shows how much variety can result in a balanced diet. I feel bad for people that deprive themselves of the tasty stuff. Yesterday I made chicken and tilapia tacos with both black and refried beans, and they were killer. And I got to stuff my face with them since I had gone on a decent bike ride.

Sometimes I am afraid of what my friends here think of my monotonous and often unhealthy diary. I just hope nobody looks at it.

Ahaha!!!

The Red Dinner...

It wouldn't bother me unless the PMs were obviously intended to be abusive.

If I got the hump with my friends because they had different opinions to me and cut them loose I wouldn't have many friends left. Some of my friends are even conservatives *shudder*

Delete them. The only time I ever say anything about someones diary, is if they are under eating consistently.

Me too, and that is the other way off my list. Log 800 calories of lettuce, then post a 5 hour workout, and do that every day for months... yeah, no.

Yep this. Had someone close their diary recently because I commented on their undereating (nicely with science). Diet content is none of my business and I'm in no position to be sanctimonious on that front. But I can't keep quiet about dangerously low intake.

There's someone who really struggles staying on track, their diary only has calorie dense fast food items/coffee/soda but they have never asked for advice on their food so I have never offered it. They get such little bang for their calorie buck the way they eat but I don't give unsolicited advise on diet content.

I have never had anyone say anything about my diary either but then I don't close mine out at the end of the day, it's not a habit I have and I don't need to see that "in 5 weeks" nonsense so I guess people aren't prompted by a status to look at my diary.

I've never had anyone do this to me, the only comments I ever get, or make, are things like, "dinner sounds yummy!" Or "red wine and white wine? Couldn't make up your mind?"

I do have a theory about this though. Did you gain these friends through one of the solicitation posts on the forums? You know, "Seeking Friends With Open Diaries" or "Looking For Supportive Friends"? I've always wondered if people connect through those kind of posts if they think it gives them the right to comment on what others eat?

Ok well if one of my friends complains about hitting a plateau, I assume that they're asking for help, and check their diary (although my first question for women is always 'is your period due soon?', lol), and I might post something about it (if logging isn't precise, I never comment about what they eat, just about eating enough protein if they complain that they are hungry).

For the rest, yeah, I've deleted people over this. Now my diary is closed and it's going to stay that way, I think.
