... because Wine is the Nectar of the Gods and is beyond the scope of MFP.

    I suppose I was thinking out loud and wondering if I was getting obsessive.
    Had to stop measuring my wine to the exact millilitre.
    Doh!

    If you're not counting your wine calories and losing/maintaining as expected I don't see a problem? I measure my 5 oz in the evening and log accordingly because I don't have that many calories to play around with.

    I don't log my Jägermeister or Pisco calories. I just decide that calories aren't important for me on that day and let 'er rip.

    Ooh I can just imagine what it would look like if I logged my 3L vat-o-wine in one day. B) (No, I don't get through it in one week)

    I have what is known as my kitchen glass. Awine glass that lives on the windowsill above the sink because it is in frequent use. It is a nice ornate glass that just happens to have its pattern end at the 5oz pour.
    Very useful, I just pour to the line and drink.
    NB: I'm small so even in maintenance I don't get a whole lot of cals so have to account for my wine; SO is twice my size and doesn't.

    Cheers, h.

    I have a very similar glass, that the pattern marks my 5oz. It helps not have to dirty more dishes to measure out my stress-relief as well ;)

    I cannot. I am an Australian Italian. It is a genetic, cultural and personal imperative that I have to drink a very decent Aussie Rose with the occasional switch to a Cab Sav. MFP does not account for my cultural and ethnic requirements.
    Happy.

    Are you saying that logging as much as you drink is too difficult for you to keep up with or that MFP doesn't have your choices in the database?

    Hello middlehaitch,
    I love your username but We Posh People say Aitch...no 'h'.
    ha ha.
    I am bemused, inspired often and sad for some of our members.
    A gram of food miscounted is a gram abused???
    I wonder if Life is way too short...

    No...not really...I love the science and precision of food logging.
    It's really taught me about what fuel I use and that this self same fuel has a bodily cost.
    I had a traditional italian custard horn and a flat white with a dear old friend today.
    It cost me an extra half hour around the park with Maggie the Wonder Jack Russell Terrier.
    She was happy but I wanted to sit on the couch and watch the Test Cricket match between England and Australia!!
    Cheers

    Food Logging is a demonstration and practice of classic Economic Opportunity Cost Modelling.
    You eat food at the expense of a foregone activity.
    Or, you choose to eat whatever you like with the knowledge that you must balance the energy ledger.
    It's very easy, actually.

    I've calorie counted for 25 years.
    The one thing I trust the label with its wine. I just log the full bottle as I count by the week.

    the bottle is supposed to last that long?

    I log it and enjoy the crap out of every last ounce.

    I log only the first three glasses.
    Better to be in that river in Egypt that over my calories.

    I am a mead maker and it makes me sad to leave it on the shelf for now, but I love it and seeing the average calories made me sadder (and also explained the size of my keister).

    It will have more time to age, I suppose, and that's never a bad thing.

    Until then, I will guzzle gin and log it until I close my diary. If more somehow gets into my glass I enjoy that it's not many calories that have gone unlogged.

    I log everything that goes through my mouth into my stomach. Wine has calories so if I drink wine I log wine.

    How many calories are in wine?

    It depends on the type, but a decent average (for red at least) is 120 calories for a standard 5 ounce pour.

    % of Alcohol X Ounces X 1.6 = Calorie Content I found this equation once. I can't remember where so I can't verify accuracy. I don't drink a lot of wine, but it has been accurate everytime I have used it and compared it to labels.

    If I don't log my wine, I get those nasty MFP messages saying I'm not eating enough. So, I reluctantly log my wine just so I don't go into starvation mode.
