You realise you've been using MFP for a while and you start contributing to the forums.
You become addicted to the forums and check it while having your morning coffee1 -

OMG! You're right on both points!
Mind you - a MFP addiction isn't a bad thing ☺

When you used to complain about how late the office christmas dinner started but when the reservation is made for earlier, you complain because you can barely get in any extra exercise before having to be there!0

This so true!1 -
You are compelled to come back and add the tums you just took.1

This is Fitbit related, but since I love seeing those calorie adjustments, I'm putting it here!
But when you have to make sure your Fitbit-wearing arm is free to swing as you walk - no carrying anything or pushing anything with that arm! Every step must count!0 -
You ask your partner what they've eaten during the day so you can mentally gauge if they need extra protein for dinner.1

Asking your husband to weigh every single thing in the recipe he's making (the one time in 6 months he actually volunteers to cook something that takes more than 10 minutes).0

^^^^ so much this!!!!

When you can quote a post from a few weeks' old thread. When you know the general position of a number of MFP members on a number of FAQs, and can refer to them by name1

Haha I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that.0 -
You look for the calorie content on the pack of washing powder (not my proudest moment lol)1
-
When you charge your Fitbit before leaving for work bc you received an email that that the battery is low - thinking "I have to make sure its got enough juice for the day to log my steps", only to leave the house without it therefore seeing no calories earned on MFP. So heartbreaking lol!0

My husband runs and doesn't always trust his tracker. I can't tell you how many times I had to drive his run so he could figure out the correct mileage.0 -
You look up the fatty acids of coconut oil only to discover the 'magic' or unique qualities are about the same as other fatty products. Like, lard or butter.0
-
When you're eating dinner and the biggest portion on your plate is green veggies bc MFP lets you eat a ton lol1
-
You have an internal temper tantrum when dinner plans change because you prelogged.
Oh my, I just did this tonight! This morning, I logged dinner, planning to eat leftovers.
My wife decided to cook a new dish for tonight and I'm struggling with "but, I've already logged!"
Must.get.a.life!0 -
Ditto. My toddler likes to "share". Meaning that I end up giving her some of MY calories . . . and yes, I do resent it, until she gives me her very cheeky grin

When you go pick up the wrapper of your yogurt from the trash because apparently nobody's entered the nutrition information for it on MFP yet...0
-
When you can't believe you threw out the #%$&ing box with the nutrition label, and the pudding baggie is just sitting there by itself in the cupboard. I mean who the hell does that?!?
When you're seriously considering buying office supplies for your portioning and logging. Labels, that cute stapler that I lost is making a come back, pens/sharpies and more

When you not only weigh the dish before you eat but also the utensil & both after as well, so that you don't count; the residue left on them because you didn't actually consume them.0
-
You wake up and feel like death and want nothing bit to sleep all day but, manage to walk to your dresser grab a kind bar and log it before nodding back off0
-
When you dump all your soup on your food scale and it dies and you have to go out to the store for the 4th time today to get a new one...0
