    So by this I mean what food item (not drinks) that you do not either weigh or count towards your calorie total?

    I tend to count everything but I over time have stopped counting/weighing things like spinach, tomatoes etc.

    If it goes in my mouth I count it in my log. You have tomatoes in that list, but I eat tomatoes often and include them every time.

    If I forget leafy greens, I'm not to concerned about it. For everything else, I will even overestimate because I prefer to error on the side of caution. The over estimate can catch any mistakes I make in logging.

    Over time i realized it starts to drive me crazy to count things like vitamins, cucumbers, or spices. Spinach as well, when you look at it these things are like 15-30 calories and it isn't the end of the world.

    Only seasonings. Everything else, from my vitamins to gum to individual pieces of cereal (I like dry cereal), is logged.

    After peaking into some food diaries, I notice that a lot of people even log their vitamins/supplements. Thoughts on this? I can see doing it if you consume all your vitamins in gummy form. :wink: I've never logged my supplements, though I do take enough pills every day to choke a horse.

    I log mine because I have a lot of kids and I forget if I took them or not.

    I can't even blame it on kids. I just forget so I log them.

    I don't measure my TB of half and half in my coffee, but I eyeball it and log it.

    I don't log spices or cooking spray, when used sparingly.

    Sriracha, hot sauce, pickles, pickled jalepenos, water enhancers, spices, sugar free gum/mints, tea. I log mustard, because I eat a ton of it. I don't weigh lettuce - usually put 5 ounces for all salads (eye ball it). No one ever got fat by eating too much lettuce.

    You and I are kindred spirits :smiley: I'm pretty much the same, although I don't log mustard either.

    Fresh vegetables. I have BED and seeing the low calories triggers me to binge. It's the thought of "oh all those vegetables were only 35 calories I can eat a lot more of that" and then it gets bad so I just don't log them.

    Glad it's not just me.
