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

Calcium chews - yes, multivitamin - no

It's a multi and hair/skin/nails

I created a meal of my vitamins/supplements just to remind me to take them. The calories aren't really my worry, it's the remembering to take them!

I tried this for a few days, I think that's how I'm going to continue.

Unless you are hiding your vitamin in a Snicker's bar to fool yourself, no you don't need to log it calorie-wise, it's in the noise.

I just died. Lol

I log my multi-- but it has no calories. Mostly, I log it as a reminder to take it (whether it's necessary or not...).

I log mine as a way to remember to take them

I log the calcium/ Vit D supplement, as it has 8 cals. That's very little cals, but I want to be as honest as I can re: caloric intake. I sure wouldn't be upset if it caused me to go 8 cals over daily allowance though.

I log the four things I take daily under Snacks, copying it every morning from the day before. Multivitamins, fiber powder, and vitamin D. For the calories and the nutrients.

No. I want to know how I am doing on vitamins without multi. Mine is 10 calories and I don't track it.

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

I do. Gummy vitamins and oils can add some calories! I add more for miconutrients.

No, but I'm only a sporadic logger anyway.

I log my gummy vitamins because with the muti, fiber, and probiotics, my daily intake of gummy vitamins clocks in at 50 cals. Over the course of a week, that's 350 cals that I otherwise wouldn't be tracking. I also take vitamin D and an Iron/Vitamin C blend. Those aren't gummies, and have no cals listed, so I don't log them.

kaygold

aaaaand yes I realize I sound like a kid taking gummy vitamins lol but honestly, its so hard for me to remember otherwise, and they don't make me nauseous, so win win

dianaeatworld

Yes. I only take two but one is fish oil and that's 20 calories a serving.The other it vitamin D so I like to log that just to keep track of it since my levels are low.

After reading this comment, I checked all my vitamins and realized I'm in a similar boat calorie wise. You raised a point I hadn't even considered. So thanks.

I just last night scanned the bar code on my vitamins & supplements. There are I think 15 calories in one of them. It's literally the calories required to write this reply. I don't worry about them but do add them here so your nutrient reports are more accurate. SC

I didn't know they have any! It doesn't say anything on the box, so I assumed they don't. I rarely have vitamins to be fair, always buy them and then they're forgotten.

Happy to help! I'm trying to lose the last 5, and I find that tiny things like this can make or break my weight loss when I'm that close to goal

never did

No, and this question and some responses made me check my fish oil. It is only 5 calories, and my multi and calcium have no calories, so I am not going to start now - too negligible.
