Calories are calories. Log it!0

Whats the point of logging if you selectively leave things out because you "dont' want them to count against your calories"? Isn't that kind of defeating the point?

If follow Health Canada's recommended number of servings of fruits & vegetables you would have a log that's potentially out by several hundred calories per day.
Do you disconnect the odometer in the car just because you're driving to church on Sunday?0 -
I typically eat a few hundred calories of fruit, so I definitely log them.0
-
the only thing i don't log is water. For instance today I'm having 1/4 cup of green beans and while WW counts those as 0 points, we are counting calories here and they have calories. If you put it in your mouth, log it.0

I ate 12 bananas yesterday, and hell no I didn't log them... I didn't want to see 1260 extra calories in my diary!0

What is Low Calories, and when is it ok not to log? Does that mean that if I eat only 1/4 of a donut, I don't have to log it? Then I can wait 30 minutes and eat another 1/4, and not log that, and continue all day? Then, you eat a half dozen donuts all day and don't log any of them? Don't fool yourself....log if you want to, and don't log if you don't want to, but when you don't count something just because its not unhealthy, the calories are still there and you won't get the results you expect.0

An Oreo cookie is 55 calories. You would log that right? So why would you not log a banana that has 100+ calories? Calories are still calories. Fruit and vegetables are where they should come from, not cookies, don't get me wrong, but they are still counting against you. Anything else is just fudging the numbers if you ask me.0

If you put it in your mouth, log it.
So many places one could go with this...0 -
I would at least log the fruit.0
-
My theory is if it goes in your face, it should go in your food journal.0
-
I log everything except water which I know I've got enough of and it doesn't affect readings.
Fruit is often loaded with sugars. I've found a lot of foods have been entered into the database with this missing so it's worth checking that when you scan in a barcode.0 -
I do for most fruits. An apple is 80-100 calories. Definitely enough to justify logging.0
-
I log everything that has calories. As soon as you stop logging certain things, or just guesstimating amounts, your actual intake will vary wildly (most likely higher) from what you are logging.0
-
log it all.0

My theory is if it goes in your face, it should go in your food journal.
hmmm, not sure I log everything that goes in my face...0 -
lol @ this.My theory is if it goes in your face, it should go in your food journal.

If you have an banana a day for a year and don't log it, that will be roughly 100 calories * 365 = 36,500 extra calories a year. At roughly 3500 calories per pound, you would gain over 10lbs in year!0
-
I log everything, because a calorie is a calorie no matter what and they add up if you're not paying attention.0
-
Log your fruits and veggies?
I stoppped logging it bc most are really low in calories, and I don't want this to count against my calories. What are your thoughts? Im just curious0 -
I log them. They still have calories and it all adds up.0
