    I log every. single. thing that goes in my mouth whether it be gum or the oil I cook with or the ICBINB spray. It also helps me remember certain meals if I am looking to see how I made something in the past.

    I have people who look at my food diary and I want to be truthful. Not being truthful got me in this predictament in the first place (if I don't write it down, it didn't happen sort of thing)

    IF YOU BITE IT; WRITE IT. Be true to thyself.

    I don't log water, sparkling or otherwise, and if I'm cooking with herbs and spices I only occasionally log those - they're too fiddly and I can't be specific about the amount in general. If I'm making something that has a lot of herbs and spices I will add a guesstimate amount of 'mixed herbs' or 'mixed spices' - it's never come up as much more than 15 calories, and sometimes less, so I don't worry about it particularly. I also guesstimate cooking fats, as it's difficult again to be specific - if you put 1tbsp of olive oil or 10g of butter into the pot at the start of the recipe, how does that work out per portion!? Life's too short! Everything else goes in, pretty much - I can't think of anything else I habitually don't log. Maybe if I have 1 or 2 grapes or berries - not enough to constitute a portion.

    Just read further up and read someone saying they don't log vitamins - I have to be honest and say it had never occurred to me to do so! oops!

    OK, that makes sense! I take a small raft of anti-cold/flu supplements through the winter months, as if I'm sick, I can't work, and I'd never even thought of logging them. Have to say I doubt that'll change :-)

    More haha. Only logged iron because I was anaemic during pregnancies and when I joined my iron was under - who knew?!

    Logged calcium because lalawhatsitfortyyearolds and I was under - damn, these dudes know their stuff!
