    I did for a while until i got what i ate under control. I dont need to log every time i eat something because i dont want to have to rely on a website to tell me what i can and cannot eat. Everyone should know what is healthy and what is not.

    Also not everything you log on here is absolutely correct so therefore what you are reading off of your diary may not be correct. There have been many threads discussing the foods people are logging are not correct.

    My 2cents!

    Not everyone who joins this site, joins for the same reasons, and not everyone needs to log their food; women and men alike. Are you the food logging police?

    The same reason I don't log every mathematical problem I solve in real life. I learned how to do it right, so I don't need to write it out anymore. I don't count calories, and all of my food is GOOD. It takes time to log (especially when you cook things and make things from scratch, you can't just enter some store bought item or restaurant food) and I personally get nothing in return from it. So, that's why this guy doesn't log.

    Why is it that guys join mfp and don't log their food? I think it is hot when a guy shows the dedication and discipline to log his food AND exercise.
    I did today just for you.... :smile:

    My BF logs 6 days a week, even though he's been at it forever.

    I don't log. I just eat and exercise daily.

    Not so sure about it being "hot" or me being that either...but I log pretty regularly because I need the accountability.

    lots of people have been doing this for so long that we/they can track in their heads easily- and dont have to log here to know what theyve done for the day and what they still need. Most of my guy friends are this way. At any point in the day I can ask them about how much theyve eaten as far as calories/protein and they can just tell me off-hand.

    ^^^yep, I have learned enough to not need this site everyday.

    I don't log on vacation or weekends because I have learned to do it in my head...Also I'm on vacation so I don't really care what my calories are lol

    I used to log, but I don't anymore because I don't see it as something I'd do for the rest of my life.

    I come to the site to stay motivated. Seeing people with the same goals kind of helps me keep on track.

    I have too many friends on here to watch who is and isn't logging daily and quite honestly, could care less, unless they ask for assistance.

    ^THIS!

    I totally agree, as well!! :):)

    I log all mine and my exercise , I don't have much food to log these days though , doctor told me to cut my calories down to 1200 and not to eat back my exercise calories, so it was a bagel for breakfast , soup and a roll for lunch , still trying to decide what to have with my remaining 462. I'm definitely not hot :).

    I started on here a couple of weeks ago and took a few days to get into the groove but I now log religiously. It helps that my wife is on MFP too!
