Do you guys log the calories in vitamins that you take?

I don't know if anyone has asked this already, but I'm not sure if I should log them or not.

    No I don't, but I just checked and there's no calories listed on the three things I take.

    I do. Things like fish oil and CLA can have more calories than you might think.

    No because there's no calories on mine as I take doctor prescribed calcium, vitamin d and iron

    mine is literally listed as 1 calorie... I still log it just to keep track of stuff (vitamins, iron, etc) though

    My multivitamin is not listed as having calories but I try to log it as a reminder that I took it.

    I do, I look at my MFP micro nutrients from time to time.

    I do...but have wondered 'where' the info comes from. Rarely listed on the any of the vitamins I purchase...I just put in what mfp's database provides.

    I do not. I probably should, but eh...I only take one multivitamin, so I figure it's not going to break me. If I started taking more supplements and they added up calorie wise I'd start tracking them.

    I log my multi-vitamin so the micronutrients are logged, and when I tried taking flax oil supplements (they don't agree with me) yes, I logged the calories.

    I log mine, both for the nutrient info and because the calcium and fish oil gel caps have a daily total of 40 calories, and my calorie allowance is tight.

    NO, because I'm a sloppy logger. It's accounted for in my goals.

    But you'll never hear me suggest to someone that being sloppy is the right solution. It works for me, but It's inefficient. It also works for me because I'm relatively active in my non lifestyle time. I'm sedentary occupationally, but I generally run or walk 3-5 miles 5 or 6 days a week. I also do strength training. Quite a bit of that doesn't get logged or eaten.

    You've got to figure out what works for you. IF you can afford slop and progress good for you... IF you can't. Tighten it up.
