I put lemon, strawberries and mint in my water. How do you log it?

Weigh the strawberries and the lemon to work out calories. Neglible calories in the mint so don't worry about that.

Do you mean you just cut them up and let them float in the water but not actually eat the fruit afterwards?

Yes. I just cut them up and let it sit in the water. Lemon and mint is good for digestion and weight loss. The strawberries are there for taste.

TBH if you are not actually eating the fruit in the water, the calories are negligible. They are both low calorie fruits to begin with. With the calorie level I am at, I probably wouldn't even log it, but you could always add 5 or 10 quick add calories to account for it.

Curious as to how lemon aids weight loss?

One of those myths that never seems to die. I too put lemon and mint in my water because I love the taste. It does nothing for weight loss (unless you're drinking more water and eating fewer calories, of course).

Lemon and mint supposed to detoxify your system. I heard it from somewhere and it works for me because I seem to go to bathroom more often than usual.

Lemon actually doesn’t do that (detox), unfortunately. Detoxifying in this manner in bunk, sorry. Livers, kidneys and skin do an excellent job. The only people that need detox are drug addicts..

You're probably going to the bathroom more often because you are drinking more water. Also, lemon and mint are both mild diuretics so they can make you pee more. But that's just because they're a diuretic, not because of any "detox".

Regardless, I agree with previous posts expecting the calories would be negligible, maybe 5 or 10.
