Princess, I did this on Sunday. 🤣Just put in 2 mac n cheese entries because I didn’t feel like putting all the things in. I think accounting for calories like this is ok every once in awhile. You impress me with your commitment to the gym! Have a wonderful day. 🌺💪🏼 

Your schedule sounds like mine! Especially the "work forever" part! 

Thanks Gibjig. Yeah larilyn. Not usually this crazy for me but the next few weeks are going to be rough. I'm concerned that I'm not more concerned with the overeating. 😆🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Some days/weeks are just more hectic and I agree with Gib on the calorie entries-if you don’t need to be concerned about the content of calories for other health reasons then a “shorthand” approach does the trick! 

I have gotten so I don’t log dinner ingredients a lot for the same reason, recycled leftovers or something I create on the fly with a little of this and that. I often don’t cook from a recipe so I think I eat as many calories just “tasting” as I do at the meal. 

I am going to have to try that. Just type Ben&Jerry's!!! Have a wonderful Thursday!  

That was so so funny DP!! I often estimate calories and pick a food that is that close to calories that, because not everything is listed. I think Jdstore was funny saying that is just shorthand, that’s what I’m going to call it for now on - I’m using shorthand!🤣 I agree with Gib, your commitment to the gym will always save you and keep you healthy have a great Thursday!!👍😊 

Made me smile. I usually break things down into individual ingredients but last night after eating out I just found a similar dish for my entry. I entered it, then went back & increased the serving amount cause I figured all that yummyness had to be more calories 😁 Good luck today! 

That’s a quick shortcut, as long as your don’t care about macros ;) 

I explain my days as "wash - rinse - repeat".  

just retired so trying to find the rinse cycle  

Welcome Hooligan— a good place to start on FS is to determine how much you have actually been eating in the past. Take a look at your portions, read labels. A portion that seems “normal” to you may not be in reality. My big advice is to buy a food scale at target or Walmart— $20-25 dollars and weigh what you are going to eat and log it. Everyone is good about trying to help as you go along. 

So, what kind of Ben & Jerry's?! lol I like Cherry Garcia. My hubby likes the Strawberry Cheesecake. We don't eat those anymore. We're both trying to be smarter/healthier too, now. As long as you're not endangering your health....I say, ENJOY!!! :) 

Yeah, Lambie...it's going to mess up my protein count. I thought the same thing when I did it.  

Slow Meta - Cherry Garcia is my least favorite. I'm chubby hubby all the way. Recently found a peanut butter one that was good and I enjoy Netflix n chill'd.  

Maybe yes maybe no, The thing about being some hot skinny bitch is you can decide yes or no based on what you feel and you know what babe? It’s not gonna make a lick of difference in the end. Because it was one day. Sorry late pregnancy has me being a complete Internet troll from bed lately. But I feel this, I am avoiding logging a 4 pound gain. It’s both a food baby and a regular baby. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t log anything, I don’t have to know how many calories 49 plates of pasta is LOL I don’t usually eat pasta even. No regrets 

Oh and sorry if you don’t like the term hot skinny bitch, around here that’s a huge compliment and that’s what girls say to each other when we’re good friends. You could replace it with toned lean gorgeous supermodel and it would be the same thing 

Yooper girl with bad language 

hey! I'm new. ben & jerry's sounds sooo good! I'm not sure I can do this but I'm going to try for the upteenth time! 

The only ones with a worse mouth than mine is my two daughters.
