I've been ver carefully counting my calories. Tonight was my anniversary.

I ate about half of fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli, one bite of the roll with butter, 2 glasses of champagne (on the house, I don't know brand), 1 glass of Pinot gregio, and 3 cherries in syrup from cherries jubilee.

I didn't have any breakfast or lunch. Not sure how much this comes to, can you help?

    Did you try logging those things into the database? You could always use a chain restaurant for the fettuccine. Add the broccoli separate of you can't find one with broccoli. Wine isn't going to vary much in calories by brand do just pick one. It'll be a guess but you'll get close enough and by doing the work yourself it will be very educational. You need to learn how to log - you can always come back with your numbers and have us check them :) Looks yummy. Happy Anniversary! Enjoy the celebration and don't fret the calories so much - I assume you don't eat like this every night so just do your best logging and it will be okay.

    in situations like this I tend to use the "quick add" feature. For myself I usually put in 2000 calories.

    Thank you all so much. I took this screenshot. What it doesn't show is the coffee with cream for breakfast and the pino added as a snack.

    Thank you all so much for the support this is the first time in over 20 years that I have not binged at a restaurant. psyu1sm942gp.png

    Congrats on your anniversary. I'm going to guess that the things you described total to right about 1100 calories. If you can get 29 other wild guesses and average them all together you are likely to be exactly on with the average of the 30.

    For things like this it's great that you're using self control but it's a once a year event! It's okay to enjoy yourself and not think about calories. I find that events like that are less enjoyable if you feel like you're weighed down with restrictions and anxiety about numbers. All that said, great job keeping it under control and happy anniversary!

    This is basically how I log totally unknown restaurant meals as well. It's probably fairly close and since it's a rare thing it's not biggie even if you're off a bit. Congratulations!

    Congrats on the anniversary! I'd totally agree with what you put. Always better to overestimate than underestimate. Enjoy your anniversary and don't stress about one day (especially such a special one!) too much. :)
