    It's not the calories in them I'm so concerned about, but I track mine for the other nutritional data MFP proviides.

    Truthfully, I haven't even thought to do that. I take fish oil supplement and Vitamin D supplement. I'll have to look at the calorie count on them...

    Mine don't have calories listed, so I don't count them.

    I track them but I don't really care about how many calories they are. I mostly track them to see if I'm getting my recommended values of vitamins.

    I do the same thing. I didn't assign a calorie value to them, but I want to make sure I remember to take my vitamins and my medications.

    I put my multi-vitamin and other suplements in because I also keep track of vitamins and minerals and stuff. I used to say there is no such thing as a stupid question, but that's before I had kids. Your question, however, was not stupid =P

    I usually just make a note in the notes section that I have taken my vitamins. I've never actually logged them though.

    Some supplements have calories like fish oil and some, like my multivitamin, dont. If i took pills with calories then yes, I would count those suckers

    Not at all stupid.

    I don't log mine, however, I do try to give myself a "window' of staying under my calories by their total number each day.

    So if my pills have 20 calories in them - I try to ensure I have at least that much left...so not on my log, but they are on my mind.

    I know what you mean....it's nice to have "cushioning calories" lol something that you can rely on to keep in check anything missed :)
