Do you log EVERYTHING?

JacksMom12

I thought I was logging everything... but I realized I was leaving out small things like my gummy vitamins and crystal light... at the end of the day all those things add up too. I now log every single calorie that I eat/drink (except maybe spices). It surprises me sometimes to see how fast things can go over.

I refuse to be obsessive about this journey. I log the things that I eat and drink............to me, the spices/supplements/vitamins are not "food", so I don't log them.

Some of the calorie counts in the database are off - so, even if you ARE logging everything, it's probably not 100%. Weights and measures might not be 100%. You may have 1/10th of a tsp on or off that teaspoon, either way.............you're NEVER going to get it 100% correct, so why obsess about a few calories, and lose the big picture? I'm losing weight. I am happy with that.

Life is good!

I do.

The calorie count may be off because what mfp has in the database is a little off.....but I do put it in the diary.
