Quick Add!

Just found a new feature on MFP I love.  The quick calorie add.  Tonight we are going to a swim BBQ and will not know the content of my meal beforehand.  When I get home I would tediously add in what I could remember.  For my book club and made a generic menu of foods and called it "book club meal with dessert" and would just try to come close. With this quick add I can just add the calories without logging all the items.  Tonight I figured about 800 calories for dinner and will keep that in mind as I select my choices.  I know that pasta, breads and potatoes are going to cost the most.  I can eat a large hamburger bun for the same calories as a Mars bar - crazy huh?  I will still eat the bun but will cut back on all the other salads common at BBQs.  For others the meat alone with a pile of potato salad in the choice.  The key here is to figure out your real wants and what you are only eating because it is offered or standard.
