I just ate a fortune cookie that was SO stale:noway: it couldn't possibly have any calories left in it. :laugh:
So I refuse to log that I ate it.

    Lying to ourselves is the biggest reason we have inaccurate diaries.

    With that being said, if its under 25 calories, I don't log it. Calories are a guesstimate anyhow.

    Haha that's awesome.

    In all honesty, if it's a single bite, or two bites, I usually don't log it. No sense in figuring out how much it was, really.

    Chewing gum. Sugar free, 3 calories. I figure I burn that chewing.

    The yogurt that was supposed to have fruit and didn't, so I tried it, yuck, and the tic tacks I had to have when I was on medicine that gave me a Horrible taste in my mouth, they were 1 cal each!

    Samples at Costco. They're totally calorie-free, right?


    ...Right?

    Edit: in all seriousness, I usually stop at about 1000 calories below my limit. So if I don't log a bite here and there, I'm not too worried, because I'm sure I still come in under that.

    I always forget to log breath mints! LOL

    I usually only eat SF ones, but occasionally that's not what's available. Sometimes I'll go back and add it if I remember.

    Otherwise, I agree with Avalonis - even if I have a HORRIBLE day and eat utter & complete crap, I need to log it. When I look back, I can usually check my journal to see what was going on, and if there is/was a trigger. Total learning experience for me.

    KUTGW everyone!

    Isn't that what they mean when they say "free food"?

    Pretty much if you don't log it all...or at least account in your mind for it...you're not going to see the real picture. If people think just a bite is innocent and not worth logging....guess what happens when you keep doing this as a habit...I'm sure you can figure it out. I log my vitamins too :smile: Oh...and fortune cookies are about 25 cals each.

    I agree! I think the only thing I don't log is the little bit of mustard and mayo I put on my sandwiches. When I log consistently (which I'm not doing now because I'm pregnant) I even log the butter I cook with.

    I don't ever log my fruit and veg.
    It's good for me and I never add sugar/salt so I need to get out of the habit of thinking it's extra calories.

    hopefully thuis doesn't offend anyone, but i thought today's urban word of the day is quite appropriate for this topic ;)

    zero calorie dinner:

    when your dinner passes right through your body, causing the runs, or the ****s. providing your body with no nutrion and zero calories.

    "man that steak isn't agreeing with me, looks like i'm having a zero calorie dinner tonight."

    "i was on the can all night, had a nother zero calorie dinner."

    They ARE extra calories. You can't expect to eat endless amounts of fruit all day and expect there to be zero effect, but hey...whatever floats your boat...

    Grilled chicken, a reasonable piece of cheese and whole wheat toast is good for me, but if you don't log it, you are not going to properly log calories, fat, sodium, vitamins and fiber.

    I log it all. I could eat 2 apples, 2 bananas and a bunch of veg, and that would be 1/4 of my calories for the day.

    Depends how much wine... You could possibly end up 're-tasting' that food on the way back up and therefore not digesting it!!

    I agree with the negative aspect of not logging. Maybe its just a bit of something, but "just a bite" of a few thigns, and you're adding up. And skipping fruits probably isn't wise. A banana has 100 something calories in it, and there are carbs too. Just because they're clean calories doesn't mean you didn't eat them.
    I don't log chewing gum and crystal light or drinks under 10 cal. I usually only have one of those a day anyway, and I know I have burned calories not entered under cardio, so I don't think 10 calories will ruin anything.
