    I didn't used to count my coffee creamer until I measured it and realized how much I was using...there was about a 70-100 calorie difference.

    I rarely track condiments (ketchup, mustard, steak sauce, etc.).

    I don't add anything zero cals zero sodium if there are zero cals but a sodium count I log it because sodium can tell a story too :)

    Same here! I actually started my healthy eating quest years ago by tracking sodium and sugar more so than fat and calories. Quite an eye-opener!

    <25 cal drinks - Water, coffee/espreso, tea

    I'll leave out most salt-free spices.

    I don't track most spices (as long as it's under a few teaspoons). I also don't log my supplements--they come out to about 60 calories. I know that can add up, but I can't cut out the supplements, and I eat a bit below my MPF calculations most days anyway. Everything else is logged.

    I track and log everything I eat and drink, no matter how little the calories are including Pepsi Max, spices, 1 cal spray and defiantly condiments. They all add up :smile:

    Instead of bothering to log the hour of walking I do on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I often just don't log a few small things that I know will have been burnt off by the walk; like an apple or some fruit juice :)

    Diet soda, ketchup, most green veggies, spices, salt, or my multi-vitamin gummies. I only track calories, not macros, and leaving out the smaller-calorie items hasn't affected my loss so far. I know where to look though if I do plateau :)

    Spices, diet soda and drink mixes. Everything else I count...unless I choose not to count anything for a day, which happened this weekend. Whoops.

    I log everything - even my supplements. It isn't due so much to the calories as it is to track my intake of nutrients.

    I don't log gum. Some condiments I do and some I don't. If it is ketchup I don't bother but if it was mayo, tarter sauce, honey or something like that I would log it. Basically if it's less than 10 cal I don't bother because I'm usually in a large deficit anyway.

    I don't log water,spices,tiny amounts of things like lettuce or pickles. I don't always log diet soft drinks.
    If I used no calorie sweeteners or sugar free gum. I wouldn't log that either.

    I would log pickles for the sodium content.
