Had to stop measuring my wine to the exact millilitre.
Doh!
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?2 -
I log it and enjoy the crap out of every last ounce.3

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.3 -

% 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.1 -
Decent Rosé.....isn't that an oxymoron?

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.3

I will add that if you aren't accustomed to measuring your wine, you may want to do that. What we're served in bars or restaurants is often more than 5 ounces. If you pour what looks "right" at home, you may be getting 8-9 ounces in the glass.
I just bring this up because when I started logging, I had *no idea* what 5 ounces actually looked like. I was getting closer to 180-200 calories in my glass with what I thought was a "standard" pour.3 -
When I was counting my calories I had my friendly local bar serve me my wine in a mini carafe with the oz/ml markings on the side. I also got a mini carafe of ice to make my wine last longer.
Now I'm not counting I enjoy the over pour I get as a local.

Starvation mode isn't a thing, but if you are regularly eating below the minimum recommended level by MFP (1200 for women and 1500 for men) then closing the gap with wine isn't a great nutritional choice for your calories.3 -
Ok, this is now officially my favorite thread.

This is why I just drink the whole bottle in one go. I don't have to worry about pour sizes.5 -

I think I'm getting the vibe here.
Wine is Special and many consider wine the 'superior calories'.
Yep, I concur. 0 -
It's a Strange World We Live In, Innit?
We all have alias usernames and some of us post profile pics of flowerpots.
I always say, when I feel philosophical, "it's an ill wind that blows a family court lawyer no good".
Or something like that.
