    I will never track food eaten while having a truly lovely time. Some days are meant to be enjoyed not analyzed.

    One reason to track coffee is for the potassium. I use to no be able to get enough potassium in a 1800 calorie diet. When I started tracking coffee, I discovered I was close to getting it. I just need to add a small sweet potato to my daily menu.

    Brewed coffee has fairly puny levels of potassium. Maybe you saw the level in the whole beans?

    No to mention he is probably getting his potassium already. Since potassium is not required in nutritional information in Canada and the US, it means even high potassium foods often are listed as having zero potassium.

    Oddly enough, salt. I only log it when my blood pressure is low (I have chronic low bp and suffer from vasal vagal syncope at times). I have a rather high sodium diet because of this so I rarely log what I put on my food. Only time I consciously go out of my way to log it is if I have to drink salt water (once every few months if my bp is dangerously low).

    Spices and hot sauce. That's about it. Oh and my vitamins.
