  • I don't log anything, but my FitBit automatically adds calories to my total of I've done a lot (so if I walked XX steps it gives more calories to eat).

I ate some Hot Tamales, which are just basically sugar, but that was about it.....until tonight. I did karate last night for the first time and didn't count the entire 60…
