Should I track a complete *kitten* show of a food day?

Hi
I was out all day yesterday and had a complete *kitten* show of bad food. Is it better to try and over estimate what I ate or simply recognize my weakness and move on, with no recording of the previous day? I'm back on track this morning with egg whites and steel cut oatmeal. Thnx for the feedback.

    I always do. Sometimes it's hard to find appropriate entries but I try to get as close as I can.

    I use the "pig out" entry and move on.

    Although it will be a complete kitten show, log it. It will be eye opening. It will also help you learn where you went most wrong & make a better choice next time.

    For example I went to a fair on Friday & indulged in my favorites. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought until I got to the root beer float, where the kid thought she was doing me a favor my cramming in an extra scoop of ice cream.

    I try to log everything as accurately as possible. If I'm not sure if exact amount, I tend to overestimate personally.

    I usually log my bad days the day after. I can't stand the not knowing lol And they are usually not as bad as i thought.

    I log. The trouble is when I have a blowout day and lose a KG afterwards.....
