Counting how many chips you eat??
Replies
-
yup, thats why they say you can eat basically what you want but within reason0
-
Yep, Ive always counted them even before I started really watching my calories my mother always made fun of me but otherwise I would eat the whole bag easily. Now its just a habit I count or measure almost everything I eat unless I'm having like a splurge day and im out with friends or something.0
-
nope. i don't eat enough to make even half a serving.0
-
Usually, yep. If I'm feeling lazy, I'll just grab a handful. I have teeny tiny hands, so I've noticed if I grab a handful that's usually less than a serving anyway.0
-
I've been counting just about everything lately. It's starting to feel obsessive.0
-
I do that sometimes. Or sometimes, I only let myself eat one.0
-
why not just weigh them? it's quicker, doesn't look as bad and is going to be more accurate as the size of each seperate one will muck it up.0

When out an about I count things likes crackers (not much of a chip person) but at home I weigh them. It makes me feel better to know that I'm sticking to the right portion.0
-
chips, crackers, candy, cookies... if it has a pieces count for servings, I count them out.0
-
Count them no.....WEIGH them yes! I find that weighing them give a more accurate read of what I am consuming.0

I don't eat chips, but I do count my almonds out. 28 are one serving, then I put the can back0

yep I actualy have little re-uable baggies that after I get home from shopping I will take the big bag of chips and split the entire thing into single portion bags so that I can just grab one when I want it and not have to worrie about counting each time. Makes for a long day after shopping but its working well for my family as I do this with everything (chicken , frozen vegies and fruit , nuts and so on)0

Yep, no guess work.0 -

Hahaha! Me too!!!0 -
I count chips.0

Yup! Otherwise how would you know how many calories you eat? Sometimes I'll eat half the amount so I can also have something else instead of so many chips. Mmm.0
-
haha yess! i totally do this, I try not to eat them, but once in a while i'll buy the big bag and that is what I do.0

But I usually only eat Special K cracker chips, and only eat half of the serving (27-30 chips = 110 cals)0 -
Yes! at least when I first started MFP, I have stopped eating them all together in an attempt to win an ipad at work for a weight loss challenge.
MFP really helped me pay attention to how fast the calories can add up.
I became ashamed of myself when I remembered eating half a bag of Lays BBQ chips, just between Walmart and home (only 2 miles and possibly over 600 empty calories - ouch!!)
I haved used that shame and awareness to motivate me to watch what I eat, and that means counting.0
