    Vitamins and minerals are hard to get in whole foods, especially when you are restricting calories - so I would keep those. The Omega-3 fatty acids can be obtained from natural sources like fish which also provide the protein needed. I only take a multi-vitamin and focus on weekly goals for Omega-3s from natural sources. I am heart healthy with good cholesterol without supplements. Good luck!

    I've been taking Buried Treasure VM-100 Vitamins for 3 years. They are derived from whole fruits and vegetables. There's actually a listing for them in the database and you can check out the nutrition contents there but they have 20 calories and 100 Vitamins & Minerals.
    They're FANTASTIC.

    I wouldn't log it unless you aren't losing any weight.

    HMMMM...cannot agree with this. Would that include sandwiches and soups and protein shakes? Where do you stop?

    If you are monitoring your calories then everything that has calories has to be added or you arent really monitoring your calories.
