Do I bother with MFP at the state fair?!

[hubes]

Nothing at the fair has calories. Nothing.

[flex]

A couple years ago our local paper printed the amount of calories of all the awesome food booths at the fair.

OMG

It took the fun out of funnel cakes right then and there.

I have already decided that I will NOT be when we go in a couple weeks. Too many exciting foods to try; I just want to enjoy them rather than trying to figure out how many calories are in a fried Oreo.

[mypunkinpie]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.






No.

[nahoku]

I will not be tracking what I eat at the fair. I am just going to try and not get things to eat just for myself - if I want to try something, I have to find someone who will share with me. Have fun!

[Tacocat]

I wouldn't even want to know what the calories are in those foods. I would just say today is a "free" day and not worry about it.

OK, you're a farm girl, so I am taking this as the gospel truth.

I went to 4 fairs this year, and I'm down at least 5 pounds since the beginning of summer.

Trust.

You know, I track evvvverything, and I'd just skip it. Live it up

[Bernadine]

I'm going to the state fair Saturday and no effing way am I putting anything I eat in there. T keeps talking about finding different fried foods to try.

I've been fretting about this very thing. I'm still going to track; I'm just prepared to be horrified. It will, I think, stop me from eating some things "just because." I'll save the calories for only the best fried crap! And cooooooookieeeeeeees.

Do this. Blowing it off entirely is much more damaging than just deciding you are going to have one "treat" food and eat chicken and corn on the cob otherwise.

[janegold]

Ooh, corn fritters with honey butter sound amazing.

[statlerwaldorf]

I don't. Although it's been so damn hot I haven't wanted to eat much at the fairs we went to. If only I had that problem when it's not 100 degrees.

[nahoku]

Oh, that sounds like a good day. And a calorie deficit? Impressive!

The people watching at the fair is always top notch
