Logging seasonings

RandiNoelle

I cook just for myself and, often times, the amount of seasoning I'm using (chili power, garlic power, black pepper, etc) per meal is not even a gram. I rarely use salt and use very little of it when I do. Should I still be logging all my seasonings? Does such a small amount make any difference?

I don't log seasoning unless it contains calories and even then if its very low (5cal) I don't really log. But then again I'm lazy (lost 50lbs or so though.) I am not particularly concerned about sodium either so I ignore that too but if sodium is a concern for you you should log that.

Almost never

I only log seasonings with starchy filler (garlic powder, onion powder, etc). I don't log herbs or things like chili flakes. I don't track sodium so I don't log salt either.

I almost never do. Maybe when doing a recipe I will but mostly nope.

Thanks for the replies, guys! I appreciate it.

Chances are, your logging won't be accurate enough to worry about 15 calories anyways. Same for your expenditure. Just don't go crazy with this concept.

I do not log spices.

The only time I log seasoning is on a personal recipe. Sometimes it is simply to have a list of ingredients. I cook for three (including me). I am not so worried about 1 or 5 calories like that per meal.
