Counting Calories

When I first started MFP, I made sure I counted every crumb. I would check and recheck the calorie totals and scour the net to make sure I had the correct calorie count.
Today, I simply choose the lowest possible calorie count from the database. And if they don't list the food, I will make a guess and make sure that I "low-ball" the count to ensure that I don't exceed my limit.
Am I cheating?

If you feel like you are cheating, you probably are, but since you are only cheating yourself, it is up to you if you care or not. It looks like you have made some excellent progress so I'd say keep doing what you're doing. However, if you hit a plateau, maybe guess high on the calories for awhile rather than low-balling the count.0
