I am horrible about logging my vitamins.0
-
I don't log salt or pepper or other seasonings. I probably should, at least for the sodium. But I don't. I log everything else.0
-
Veggies. At least green leafy/high water content. I don't measure them.
It makes my food diary look HORRIBLE.0 -
I agree with the gum, vitamins etc but any food I try to break down. I also do not log water since I drink as ton and any activity that is part of my day (ie. cleaning, laundry, going up stairs etc)0
-
I log every thing, the good & the bad so if I stop losing I know what to change0

I work for a dessert company, and we have a daily product review of everything that was produced the day before. Today, for instance, we had about six different desserts for review, and it's our duty as tasters to have a small sample of each one to see if the taste, texture and so on is as it should be. Some days I don't want to go and I let others take care of it, but many times, I am the person with the most experience with the products in the office, and I have a small bite of a cookie, a small scoop of cheesecake, a bit of this and a bit of that. I don't log any of it. It would be too difficult to figure out, and I have the extra calories.
I also have a chocolate bar in my kitchen that I broke into squares, and if I have a square, I don't log that either. It's like 30 or 40 calories so who cares?
You work for a dessert company and that is your belly? I am impressed. What is your secret?0 -
I pretty much log everything. Back when I was trying to lose weight I logged EVERYTHING! :ohwell: I even logged Tums. LOL :bigsmile:
Since I've been on maintenance (10 months!) If it's something that has no calories like mustard (my new best friend!) or a diet cola I don't bother. Sometimes I skip logging things like a dill pickle slice or some chopped onion.
I also don't log on weekends. I look at all this as a change of lifestyle and if I can't go for a couple of days without losing control then it's not a true lifestyle change.

I don't log
Diet Drinks
Ketchup or Mustard
Coffee0 -
I don't log cucumbers on my salad... Also, same as you... If I have a cuppa joe in the afternoon.0
-
If it has calories, I log it. Even down to that stick of gum I might have some afternoons.0
-
Hmmm well I used to not log things like sugarfree gum and calorie-less soda... But now, I log EVERYTHING. Even after two weeks of not logging that sort of thing, I started logging it. Things like that add up, especially when I'm watching my sodium and sugar and other things... So yes, I'm SET on logging every single thing I eat now (and even minor exercise like if I've been dancing around for ten minutes). Everything adds up...0
-
Only things I don't log acurately are my teas and my stevia sweetener, but I log at least 1 serving of each for the day and there's no calories/fat/sugar/ etc across the board so its foolish to log each one I drink... other than that - I log everything. Once you start NOT logging one thing, it gets out of control - FAST. Ask anyone that's used this site for over a year... stick to logging everything you put into your mouth.0
-
I don't log seasonings/spices/herbs, cooking/butter spray (use these minimally), gum (I chew 1 piece sometimes, but not everyday), splenda in my coffee, or diet soda/drinks that are 0 calories. I log everything else.0
-
I don't log "everything". And if it's day away from home and I don't know exactly how many calories I ate or even what was in what I ate, I just skip that day. Why bother guesstimating when it's already done? And if it's an ingredient with no calories of significant such as spices or a diet drink I don't bother.0
-
The only thing I don't log is the creamer in my coffee. I've always given that to myself as a freebie luxury. Everything else I log.0
-
only my coffee/ iced coffee, black with splenda0
-
I don't log Splenda or herbs/spices but try to be pretty strick with everything else - calories in Fish Oil tablets add up and iron supplements need to be logged if I want a decent idea of my intake.
Besides, the main reason to log my calorie intake was to work out where all the calories were coming from as the weight wasn't moving.0 -
I don't log water. I drink a lot of it, so no worries there, not like I am going to be under, I drink quite a bit.0
-
Sometimes when I'm with my boyfriend the things we eat for lunch/dinner don't get logged because I have no idea what's in them or how many calories.. he always has homemade Brasilian food so I must eat some of it0
-
I don't log diet sodas, ketchup or mustard. Or vegetable burger toppings if I'm making a veggie burger (i.e. a little bit of onion and a slice or two of tomato). I think I'd go crazy if I started measuring my mustard.0
-
I don't log the spices I use to cook with and the multivitamin I'm supposed to take in the morning. I'm not used to taking vitamins anyway and most days I forget to take it haha. Everything else I log, though.0
-
The only thing I don't log is my mom's makes homemade sweet tea.
I honestly don't even know how many calories it would have.
But I usually have 100-200 cals left over, so I am going to assume it doesn't hurt...
Especially considering I only have 4oz of it a day (roughly estimating).0 -
When I have tea or coffee and add sugar/milk I usually don't add that. I always have extra calories floating around. Such as I guess at the amounts in a single serving of a recipe and I don't eat the full amount (eyes being bigger than stomach) I just leave those calories there and don't log a few other things.
I'm not very obsessive. I find it hard to log certain things anyway. i try to log the main stuff as best as I can but that's it. I'd go crazy if I tried to log every single thing I put in my mouth...0 -
I don't log black coffee , or lavender tea.0
-
Been here a year and in maintenance since April... I still log everything, even 3 m&ms or 1/4 cup of air popped popcorn... everything. I also have a bazillion calories to eat in maintenance plus my exercise cals, but I still log everything (and it is usually to make sure I am eating enough and not vice versa). It can get difficult to eat 2300+ calories when you consume 'good food' so I have to keep a watchful eye on it or I'll lose more.0

Sometimes when I make my son food, I taste a bite to make sure it isn't to hot for him. I don't log every single thing I taste because it's usually only one bite per meal of his but I also don't log every single time I take him for walks so I think it makes up for it.0

I try to live by an old Weight Watchers adage - "If you bite it, write it."0
-
Tea and coffee0

Sounds like I'm typical. I don't log spices, cooking spray, sugar-free chewing gum, vitamins...I also skip extracts (like vanilla) because in my head, they're in the spice category, and if I make something with a lot of no-calorie sweetener, I don't bother with that. For instance, I like to use vanilla and xylitol in fat-free cream cheese to make a fat-free, sugar-free cream cheese icing...and I just log it as fat-free cream cheese even though all that other stuff is in it.0
-
I don't log my daily diet coke, mustard, marinades and veggies that are condiments (like if i put an onion slice or pickles on my burger).
I don't log calories from weight lifting either, so I figure that should cover the occasional tomato slice or multivitamin.0
