Don't forget your vitamins!!

WOW! I have been taking vitamins and supplements for a while now and never thought about having to put them in my diary. I just added them up and I am taking in at least an extra 57 calories everyday I didn't know. Not a super big number but if you are cutting it close on calories you may want to be tracking them.

Lord, I think I take more supplements than most people and my number isn't that high. I cannot imagine how many pills you're swallowing a day, but if it's more than me, you poor thing! Bless you.

Yes, they have a few calories and are worth logging. A good reminder for us all.

Are you ill? That's a lot of vitamins in all likelihood you don't need.

There is no study that indicates that people who take vitamins live longer than people who don't.

Just as an fyi, if you are worried that your blood levels are off, you can get testing done at the doctor.

I take zero vitamins and just had blood work done, all ranges were normal. So you may not need any vitamins. It's probably worth the blood test to check and see.

I do have thyroid issues. But I mainly take the multi to fill in gaps in my diet. The others I have had in my cupboard for a while ( friend wanted me to try) and I just need to use them up.
