Record drinks?

Do you record drinks other than water? Like.. I rarely drink juice but tonight I drank a few ounces. It comes up as 100 some calories tho. If I record that and if I drink a protein drink for the taste so I wouldn't drink soda, it'd bump me over my calorie limit...which I am trying to stick around. I've never recorded drinks when I have tried to lose weight. advice?

If a drink has calories, you have to record them. Juice counts, as does "protein drink". Also beer, wine, etc.3

Of course you record them. They're calories. They count.
Being liquid they can even be processed faster than food.1 -
Of course. Anything with calories should be logged.0

I log all drinks unless they are water or diet cola. The few calories in a glass of diet coke isn't going to make a difference but a glass of juice would.0

You can log/count them or not, as you choose. But rest assured, your body counts them. Calories are calories, whether you pretend they don't exist or not.2

Maybe I'm confused. Are you not logging everything? If you are this should be no different. Yes?1

If you're not logging them to meet your calorie goal, then you're not actually meeting your calorie goal. You're basically tricking yourself.
Counting calories only works well if you actually count the calories you're consuming.1 -
If it has calories I log it..0
