Question of the week:
Does anyone on the team consistently log on the weekends?
I do log on weekends, but I find it difficult for a few reasons.
- We tend to eat out on the weekend and not all the restaurants have nutritional info for their menu items. When I log these meals, I always make sure to over-estimate calories consumed (add more oil/butter than I would use if cooking at home). So I don't know for sure if what I've logged is accurate, and I am a bit OCD with the accuracy thing.
- Because of the above mentioned issue, I tend to go over my calories on at least one day of the weekend. And I really dislike seeing the red numbers!0 -

@pkg1998 I also log over weekends, but it is not always easy. When you prepare your own meals, you know what is going into them and it easy to log the correct numbers. The moment you eat anywhere else, you guestimate. I will rather overstate my calories than understate it. On the few occasions that I really lost it, I will log it as a combined calories figure, probably also way higher than it actually was, but I still log it.0

@pkg1998 I log over the weekend, but also try to do what others do, and overestimate-especially if I am eating out or someone else made the food. It can be tricky, but it's better to be honest, when it is so easy to let that your weekend slip away!0

@stubbornloser , @petrocoetsee , @cmhubbard92
Thanks for the great responses. I think your suggestions are what I need to do - log what I eat and overestimate if necessary. I know that the weekends are a big reason why my weight loss is slow (non-existent). Maybe if I start logging it will help me pay more attention to what I’m actually eating.0 -
Weigh in day 154.5
Hoping to hit 153.9or below for my birthday on weds so will do an extra weigh in. It will mean hitting a couple of milestones which would be a great birthday present to myself.
Back home now. It's freezing.
Have signed up to another 10k to keep me exercising and back to meal prep. Snacking will be my big challenge again - how so you guys cope with feeling snacky?3 -

Food Challenge
I tried Baked Honey Mustard Chicken. It was ok but it seems that when I bake chicken there is a lot of grease in the pan and makes the sauce watery. My daughter loved it though.
https://diethood.com/baked-honey-mustard-chicken/
@brandi_84 The recipe looks delicious, but I have the same problem with watery baked chicken. It tends to make the sauce not so good. Wonder if anyone has any suggestions?
@brandi_84, @pkg1998, I know it sounds like extra work, but could you remove the chicken when it's done and keep it warm in the oven while you thicken the sauce with some corn starch on the stove top?0 -
@HASWLRS I’ve just caught up on your leaving post having got back from our trip. I’m so sorry to see you go and will miss you!
Wishing you all the best and hope that you’ll be feeling on the right track within yourself soon. Xcossmoss15 wrote: »
@HASWLRS Thank you for all the work you have done to support our group. All the best to you as you move forward.
@Coral333 and @cossmoss15, thank you for your kind words. Just backing off from MFP in general these last couple of weeks has already improved my head space.1 -

@petrocoetsee, feel free to come up with your own fruit/vegetable challenge for the southern hemisphere in the meantime. Right now I think that you and @MelsLeanDream are the only two in that particular hemisphere, but there may be others joining in November that are from that part of the world, too.0 -
