Well, looks like I've finished the day with 1047 calories in and a real lesson in the importance of planning and measuring ahead. Had a huge salad for supper, complete with grapes and sunflower seeds. Not a problem, with the rest of the day's intake was still under 900 calories.

I have a bag of seasoned croutons, decided to have some with my salad. Bag label says "serving" is 2 Tbsp for 35 calories. I prefer my croutons, these being around 3/4 " x 3/8 " thick, on the side. So, while I'm eating salad with the occasional crouton, quite tasty I might point out, I was trying to figure how many cubical croutons were going to fit in a tablespoon. The FitWatch database showed a huge range per croutons but didn't offer measurements.

Finishing supper, I decided the logical step to be sure about the serving size, I got out the scale and read the label again. A serving was 7gr, which immediately gave me pause, I've weighed some stuff, 7 grams add up REAL fast. Started putting croutons on the scale, 1,2,3, WHAM!! That was it, 7 grams! WHO THE F%&K DECIDED THAT 3 CROUTONS IS A F-ING SERVING?

WHY NOT JUST PUT ON THE PACKAGE THAT ONE F-ING CROUTON IS 11.5 F-ING CALORIES??? HOW THE D DO YOU GET A MEASUREMENT OF TWO TABLESPOONS WITH THREE CROUTONS, CUT ONE IN HALF? THE LUNACY!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??

Yes, I was yelling, on the inside anyway. Rant over, I guess. I was just a bit (understatement) annoyed thinking about the better use I could have made with those 170 <> calories I "spent" on croutons.

Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.

Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
