I sometimes still eat things before I look up the nutrition value and find out it is way too many calories and not worth eating. :/ . Do others have the same problem?

    What I hate is when you make what you think is a good choice, rather than having what you actually want, only to find out that your 'good' choice was actually more calories than what you really wanted.

    Yes I have done that a lot

    i had a doh! moment last week. son came home from college and we were in target. i was paying for his loot and he asked if i wanted anything from starbucks. it was cold so i said yeah, get me something skinny. so he chose a skinny white chocolate mocha. i drank it. enjoyed it. later logged it. all 350 'skinny' cals...it fit into my day, but still...
    I have done that. I'm usually even worse and get the full blown white chocolate mocha grande (My favorite). I haven't had one in almost a year so I have made progress.

    So this. Like when the kale and quinoa salad was 1200 calories but the individual thin crust pizza was only 600.

    I keep the nutritional info for the places I eat at regularity bookmarked on my phone. It helps, but sometimes I'll still eat first then log and cringe a little. It happens.

    Nope. I prelog my day every morning. Then I can tweak things if I have to

    Totally read that as "twerk things if I have to".

    Hey, don't beat yourself up, it takes a while to get used to that.

    :drinker:

    I got into the habit of "I need to look this up before I eat it." If it will take too much effort to look up(not often but sometimes I get lazy), then I just decide it isn't worth it and I wont eat it. :lol:

    I do it sometimes not realizing how bad a choice it was until I log it, then I realize, well for sure next time I will have a much better choice and learn from it.
