For me it's nonstick spray and sugar-free gum.

    Ketchup. I log all other condiments but not that one lol. And coffee. I log what I put in it, but the coffee itself does have a few calories and I don't include that.

    I also give myself a few extra grams of things. I weigh my food. If a serving of cereal is 27 grams, I might have 30 grams in my bowl (well, 60 as I usually eat 2 servings) and I only record the standard serving size.

    And these reasons are why I'm a slow loser lol. I don't log the things you mentioned either.

    - cooking oil (i use either a spray or coconut oil so this doesn't concern me)
    - gum
    - until very recently, fish oil
    - sugar-free soft drinks

    basically if something is very marginal i don't log it; not worth my time and it's not going to make an appreciable difference

    Spices and gum.

    I try to add in those little sneaky bites of stuff my husband offers me. I want to be as accurate as possible, but I'd rather overestimate calories in.

    Spices, salt, vinegar, lemon juice when I put some on fish... that's pretty much it. I log everything else.

    Ketchup and mustard. For awhile I wasn't logging my vitamins, but I've started doing that since most of them are the chewable/gummy type.

    Coffee & tea (plain), sugar free gum, spices. I log everything else! I was wondering about my gummy multi vitamins though...

    Spices (miss dash, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper), cooking spray and/or coconut oil ... And taste tests while cooking.
    Also, tic tacs, tea, and most marginal things. I know they add up eventually but they seem so miniscule and they are not easy to be aware of.

    Oh, and I don't log water. I drink water by the gallons!

    coffee
    water ( I like to track but I forget sometimes)
    I don't log anything that's 0 calories.
    If I take 1 bite of something, unless I know it's high in calories.

    Spices/seasonings
    EVOO (I've never logged it, probably never will)
    Gum
    Any condiment under 10 calories a serving (think mustard, hot sauce, etc.)

    I never used to track my vitamins, but I started doing so more to make sure I take them than for the macros. Turns out the only one I take that has any calories is the fish oil.

    Gum
    Oil/oil dressings
    Herbal tea
    If I have 1 or 2 small pieces of candy

    Just anything I dont think will make a significant difference. It will stress me out otherwise.
