Is There Anything You Eat That Don't Record - What and Why?

I try to log everything, although I 'm sure that at the end of the day I might forget something. If I'm not sure how to log something, I'll generally err on the side of caution and log it much higher than it probably is.0
-
Samples at publix. Because they are samples. And sample calories aren't real calories, lol!
Other than that, I don't count garlic much because we use it so much0 -
Spices, except the ones with sodium in them. I just started logging the little bit of crystal light I put in my water to drink more.0

I don't log the food I steal off my kids' plates... bite of pb&j, french fry, etc.
This...unless I have more than a bite. I also don't usually log all my water, or tea.0 -
HA! I don't log the calories from the Costco samples either. Brie last night. YUMMY.
I don't log coffee. Black. I don't log Light Italian dressing. 5 cal. I don't log spices unless it's in a recipe. I don't log my water. I drink enough. I don't log my diet soda. But I do log my club soda with my vodka. Funny that.0 -
I don't log fruit or veggies as a way to promote eating them more, every thing else I keep to 15000

Here are the items I don't usually log:
* Diet soda and other 0 calorie beverages
* hot Tea or diet iced tea
* splenda/stevia packets added to things
* Spices/herbs
* hot sauce
* sugar-free gum
* All mustards (except for honey mustard)
* Vitamins/medicines (I take an iron pill due to low iron based Anemia everyday, multi vitamin, allegra (I have terrible allergies), and birth control (PCOS). I wouldn't log cough drops or any medicine if I was sick either.
Everything else I log. Even my 16oz of black coffee in the morning.0 -
I don't log anything under 40 calories total (Cuties clementine, 1 Hershey's kiss, etc). I figure with the amount of water I am drinking which results in numerous trips to the bathroom, I am walking those calories off throughout the day. I work in a big office, so its a quick walk and stretch each trip. Also my morning coffee cause its a vital need at 5AM.0

-
Gum, mints, spices...thats it.0
-
Water mix-ins, mints, sometimes coffee (I drink it with a splash of skim milk and splenda). If I just have a bite of something (I like to steal a bite of my BFs food from time to time). The non-alcoholic portions of mixed drinks, if they have little/no calories (like diet coke or water with calorie-free flavoring).0

I record everything I eat, with the exception of sports gels. I have 1 every 3-4 miles on most runs over 6 miles. The reason I don't record them is that I know that I need the carbs they give me on a long run and I know I will try to go without, if i have to go put them in. I'm always way under on cals on my long run day ANYWAY....
what is that?0 -
I am pretty particular about logging what i put in my mouth at the moment and I am paying particular attention to portion sizes.
I don't log all the water I drink, I just make sure I log up to ten glasses but after that I stop logging. I don't log herbs and spices. I don't log the occasional oil spray I use but I do add cooking oil if used by tablespoon. I don't log the occasional piece of vege that I eat whilst cutting up my salads etc. I don't log sugar free gum, medicines, multivitamins. I have some diet cordial each day and I don't bother logging that. I do log coke zero because I was an addict and have to monitor my intake to ensure I am not drinking to excess. Everything else I log.0 -
I don't record multi-vitamins and supplements (such as Biotin and Fish Oil) just because they don't carry that many cals and are good things my body needs.0
-
Particles in the air, pollution in the air, bugs that fly in my mouth, spiders I eat when asleep.0
-
I don't log my sugarless gum. I don't even have a piece every day so why bother. I also don't log for example if my daughter offers me some of her skittles and I eat 1 or 2. But that's the extent of my non-logging.0
-
I log everything - except when I have peppermint tea (don't think this has any calories and I don't log this as water either)0
-
I log everything, even my asprin, trazadone, and hydrocodone. Guess i am a little anal that way :blushing:0

If you're counting the run though it might be good to still count them since they are about 80+ each, but to each their own.0
