    I do. I started when I joined MFP. It can add up and even though it is a supplement it has calories.

    I just log higher calorie supplements, like my fish oil and blackstrap molasses.

    If you want your fiber supplement to count towards hitting your fiber goal (I would) then you'd log that as well.

    I don't add any of my prescribed meds or supplements.

    If you're using MFP to track your micros, then why wouldn't you log supplements that contribute toward meeting your micro goals? Isn't that why you're taking them?

    Anything that has calories needs to be logged.

    If you track any specific nutrients, then I expect you'd want to log everything that has those nutrients as well.
