    Not really. I do for chili mix, taco mix, etc. but that's about it.

    I add the spices when I'm entering a recipe, just so that they are there if I ever need to look that recipe up again, not because I'm concerned about the measly 5 calories they might add.

    I don't log them individually in my diary, because I figure a couple dashes of garlic powder, chili powder, or whatever on my chicken isn't going to hurt anything.

    I only ever log spice blends that have salt or other things in it. Straight up spices and herbs I don't count.

    I look at SODIUM content but otherwise I don't count the calories.
