Do you count the caloriessential in your vitamins or exclude them?

    What vitamins are you taking? Vitamins in and of themselves don't have calories, but if they're bound to a protein or other macro they will have calories that should count.

    No calories were listed on my vitamins, so I never logged them.

    My multivitamin appears to have no calories, but my calcium supplements do, so I log those.

    I count them - my vitamins are 45 calories a day. I have them saved as a recipe so they are easy to add. The gummies have calories, the regular ones usually don't or at least not that I can tell.

    I log my prenatal to remind me to take my birth control.

    I log mine. They don't have calories but I like seeing that I've met my C, calcium, etc.

    I log my gummy vitamins because they have calories. I don't bother with anything else.
