Logging vitamins and supplements

I was wondering if anyone else logs their vitamins and supplements? It never thought about it before, but it occurred to me as I was taking my fish oil supplement that I was, in fact, taking a small softgel full of oil. So I added a recipe for all my vitamins and such, using the calories listed on the bottles, and i'm actually taking more than 45 calories worth.

Here's what I currently take, and how many of each:

Calcium - 2
Magnesium - 2
Fish Oil - 2
Vitamin D3 - 1
Tumeric - 1
Osteo-BiFlex - 2s

Is anyone else doing this? I've never done it in the past, but if feels like I need to track this. I mean, they're calories, right?

    I make a recipe with all my vitamins. Makes it easier to log. I take a gummy multivitamin and gummy calcium along with my other vitamins so it's about 50 calories a day.

    I log fish oil (calories) and vitC and calcium (micros).

    I like to add them because I get a more accurate nutrition report at the end of the day. It also helps me remember to take them; if I haven't logged them then I know I haven't taken them yet.
