How do you log one bite? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

My mom made chicken tonight and as usual she turned it into jerky (she always overcooks chicken on purpose because she is afraid of getting sick). I really wasn't in the mood to eat dry, chewy chicken so I quiety dumped it into the trash, but not before taking one bite. How the heck do I log that?

I'm totally stealing this from someone on the boards (I believe it was Heather), but this person counted "Just A Bite" as a JAB for 25 calories. So anytime they had Just A Bite, they'd JAB themselves 25 calories.

I would probably log it in as half an ounce.

I was just doing this yesterday. I made a different dish for my hubby and kids but took a tiny taste to see if the seasoning was okay, etc. The dish had cooked chicken in it, some of which I had set aside for myself before making their dish. So, when I logged my foods, I upped my chicken measurement by 1 ounce and then made sure I didn't use up all my allotted calories for the day. I usually don't allow myself nibbles like this because it is hard to really be accurate - and they do add up.

Ditto - would log as 20-25 calories. The JAB acronym is great - will have to use that to replace my usual "Misc. Nibbles" LOL

That's what I ended up doing. It came out to about 23 calories.
