Any Calories you don't count??

I don't count my coffee with flavored creamer, tic-tacs, or leafy green veggies.

I count most of the calories, but I've given up weighing every single onion, stalk of celery, tomato, etc. Too much in the way of head games for me to bother weighing things that don't change all that much per serve. A 'usual' onion weighs 100grams on average. If the next one is 112 grams, and the one after is 84, it balances out. Enough tomato to cover a sandwich is...about 60gm.

i dont count spices or fresh herbs. i dont count the single mouthful of milk/apple juice/diet softdrink i grab when i go to the fridge. i guesstimate my leafy green veg weight, i mean, 100gr of spinach is a LOT of spinach..

I don't count the iced tea I drink all day. I don't add anything to it. I don't log gum. Everything else has a home on my food diary.

I chew gum only at nights, and i don't count mine either.

I don't count the very small quantities of homemade salad dressings, stocks, etc that I use in meals. I have an occasional licorice drop or two during the day and I can't resist having 3 or 4 cheese corn chips if I'm at a party/BBQ but that's also only occasional.

To address these sins of ommision I have developed the habit of adding 100 quick add calories a day to my snacks total. Some days I might be a little over and others I would be well under so over a week normally it would mean my numbers show higher than my actual consumption and I see the outcome in my weekly weigh in.

I don't count gum, I don't count pickles when I occasionally have one (I don't care much about my sodium because I'm usually way under anyway), I don't count spices, and I don't count the green or blue fruit snacks I eat from my kid's pouch (the poor child only gets the red and oranges one because the others are MINE! hehe). I have started counting my calcium gummies because they are 25 calories a day.

If the nutrition facts on the packaging of the product I'm eating say zero calories, then I won't log it. That being said, understand that I'm only counting calories, not nutrients; most of the foods I gravitate towards are "okay" in other nutritional areas. Everything else gets logged, to the best of my ability.

I don't count diet mt. dew, gum, mints, or the occasional nibbles of food. I try to log only half of my exercise calories to balance it out.

I add everything that way I can go back if anything and look.
