    Pickles do have calories, nothing is calorie free :P

    I must have super cool pickles then cause the amt I use according to the jar says 0 for calories.

    Dill's might not have any calories but they are the sodium BOMB. 1 pickle can have 1,000mg sodium depending on size. Mustard also has a lot of sodium

    I don't track herbs and spices unless they are spice mixes which sometimes contain a lot of sodium.

    If you could care less about sodium then meh

    Cucumbers have calories, so why wouldn't pickles? I guess it's one of those FDA rules since it probably has 5 or less calories per serving, so it can legally say zero on the jar.

    That's exactly what it is. The serving size is small enough that it comes to under 5 calories, so they can round down to zero.

    Even though some item do not have calories, i try to log everything so i can go back and see exactly what My diet was like and change things as needed, while certain items may not have calories (Ex.diet soda, splenda), these items do effect your digestive system. t the end of the day, its really up to you. Hope this information helps..

    Water. I probably should though because it'd be good for me to know how much of it I actually drink (or don't drink).

    Yeah, I don't log my water intake on MFP but I do on my Fitbit app.

    People like me lol

    I log everything!

    Even the zero sprays (which aren't zero at all!)

    So my daily herbs and spices plus the butter sprays and my coffee plus tea is good for an amount of 150 calories easily.

    so yes i log everything

    ps: there is also the nutrition information that i like to have...there is a lot of potassium in herbs and that is important for me as a person who cooks salt less.

    Currently I only log 1 calorie for most green vegetables. If I put butter on them I log that. DO far so good. When I am closer to goal I will log correctly. If I start loving them before I am close, I will log correctly.

    I am certain I didn't gain weight overeating green vegetables.

    Not the coffee or tea - but I put an entry for milk in my breakfast - to allow for what I add during the day.

    Not psyllium - that I have 2-3 tbsp per day - I ignore the "maybe" carbs it has

    No spice - but only one of my spice mixes has sugar - the rest is negligable

    I don't log anything after I'm "pickled", because pickles have zero calories.

    I won't log spices unless it's in the recipe builder. I also don't log things like lemon-infused water. While I do believe adding lemon (or other fruit to water) adds some small number of calories - it's not worth the hassle trying to work out how many (or few) that might actually be.

    I try to log everything else - even "zero calorie" things like diet soda (unless i'm having the free diet soda I get to have while at work)

    I don't log water, diet soda, dry herbs and spices unless in recipes, lemon (and TrueLime) in my water. The odd taste of food here and there, but it's unusual for that to be more than a few bites in a week.

    I do log black coffee, because it has potassium and I try to get more potassium. Fresh herbs because I tend to use a lot of them.

    I eyeball everything, though, unless I'm baking (because baking requires a certain amount of precision to work). I lose well enough.

    I don't log salt, I rarely use it, and I'm not watching sodium anyway. I log my tea (nothing added to it) as water. Otherwise, everything is logged.

    Herbs, spices, crystal light, diet soda I don't log.
    I drink a lot of the monster ultra drinks, calories free, but sodium. So it's a50/50 with those
