    You all really need to get a sense of humor. The whole post was a JOKE. Only about 1/3 of you understood that...

    But I REALLY AM under ONE calorie! :frown: You can even look at my diary!

    1200 calories a day is a rough estimate anyway. you could go into starvation mode even at 1200 calories because everyday is different, but 1200calories is made for everyone... i mean, having more muscle, or being more active, or any number of things, can make you burn more than this calorie average... this is why people who plateau when they are down to 1200calories a day find it easier to loose weight when they zig zag calories and have one day at maintenance level of calories, the next at 2lbs a week loss, the next at .5lbs a week loss, etc, because they cant go into starvation mode cuz not everyday is the same...

    and one day of starvation mode calories will not put u in starvation mode... several days in a row will.

    1calorie foods; i do like the licking the counter top suggestion, but think the licking the troll suggestion might put you over sodium/calories.

    Keep in mind that all of the numbers on MFP--both calories you're ingesting and calories you're burning--are approximate. The chances that you're ACTUALLY one calorie under are slim to none.

    No, no.. I saw her diary... her calories are spot on. 1 calorie left. This is baffling.

    Im afraid licking the counter top wont work in this case either, you would have to calculate the calories burned from bending over and opening your mouth, extending your tongue etc, ill bet you would burn at least 2 calories. then you still need to make that up. vicious cycle.

    Yes but I understand what Erik was saying...the nutrition label on Cheerios is under by 3 calories per serving where other foods underestimate calories by 10, 20, or more. They are legally not allowed to overestimate calories on packaging so they underestimate so you might actually be eating 50+ calories more by the end of the day than you thought.

    Hell no, cold water make you lose weight!!! Thermo something or another....too scientific for me. I vote for licking the peel of a banana.

    Licking the troll would increase your sodium content and make you retain water... don't want to do that!

    Licking the counter top? I was fixing raw chicken there earlier, and we all know salmonella and food poisoning will make you burn more calories. Can't do that.

    Let me think... I have an answer for this somewhere.

    Oh! I've got it. Eat a piece of celery, 2" long. Yes, it takes energy to digest it, but contrary to popular belief, you gain one calorie for every 2" stalk of celery you eat. That should work!!

    Well... my troll ran off with my tic tacs, so those won't work. There is no log on MFP for counter licking, so that's a no. I feel like I'm starving so I MUST be in starvation mode already. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!! :frown:
