Stopped logging for 2 months and gained 10 pounds
Well, looks like I am back. Left MFP for two months and gained 10 pounds steadily. Thought I could stop logging like some that have reached goal weight but I just can’t do it so back to logging.

How to count calories for sauce?
I like to add a lot of sauce when slow cooking chicken breast (butter chicken sauce) but when it is cooked I make sure to wipe the sauce off of each chicken breast before eating.

Has logging affected your social life?
I have been logging for a week now and have turned down two social eating events this week because the prospect of not knowing what is being put in the food bothers me. Am I the only one to turn down social eating events to avoid the hassle of not being able to log accurately?

Male, 5'8, 162 pounds, 33% body fat
Hey, I reduced my weight from about 170 down to 162. However, I am confused as to how to achieve my goals. I like looking "bigger" at 162 and having been 154 before I just look fuller and more manly. However, I also am very small boned and I am probably at around 33% body fat right now which is considered obese. Should I…
