    I LOG EVERYTHING. - Even my supplements. but I think I'm OCD! LOL
    The reason I log everything is to have a history of my intake (macros, etc) I have acquired food intolerances lately (at 49 years old!) and its helped my naturopath figure out what was happening with me. I also tend to break out in a rash when I eat too much protein (well, to be honest, i was eating 3x the amount of the RDA of protein,so I like to keep an eye. - I don't care what the calories say ( I like to keep them between1200 and 1500) but I really log to watch my Protein, Carbs and SUGAR (which I'm trying to keep to under 20g a day.)

    I don't bother with black coffee, water, or diet sodas. Anything with calories I log. I don't track water intake anymore with MFP.

    I don't log water as the "8 cups" tracker can be any sized cup. I use a 1 litre water bottle and drink all that.
    I log everything else I eat and drink.

    I logged my green tea and my 2 Ritz crackers yesterday, so no. I don't think I neglect logging. I log my 6 cups of black coffee on weekends and my 2.8 cups of black coffee on weekdays. I log my vitamins.

    I recently started tracking vitamins only so I remember what I take one day to the next. I cycle through several things throughout a week.

    As for food and drink, I only worry about things with significant calories. Because calories eaten and calories burned are estimates.

    I only log the creamer I put into my coffee.
    Don't log tea, lettuce on sandwiches, spices... things like that, that are pretty much zero.

    I want my deficit to have a cushion. If my daily deficit is 100 calories, meh. Maybe I will lose today, maybe not.
    If it's 200 calories, I feel better about it. That 4 calories from lettuce is not meaningful, daily or long-run. Even if I ate that lettuce 10x a day.

    I log everything. I log diet sodas because it has sodium and I want to keep track of that.

    Water, diet soda, sugar free drinks (only 5cals which makes no difference to me personally). Everything else gets logged even if it's just lettuce because I also track macros/micros vs only calories.

    I don't log my supplements but everything else gets logged. If I'm not honestly keeping track than I won't know what is working vs what needs to change.

    If it has no calories/macro value, I don't log it. Anything else, I log.
