    I really try. I'm a grazer so if I didn't, I really would be over my calories. Plus, I'm an accountant so by nature I'm pretty anal about it :)

    Haha SNAP!

    I will log a Snickers miniature at 43 calories, but I am not going to bother logging gum calories. I probably average 3 to 5 pieces a day. Worrying about those calories would be more hassle than it is worth.

    If my wife asks me to try something or my daughter wants to share a few fries, I will usually do a quick add to my diary with an estimate.

    if it's half a chocolate covered pretzel or part of a candy bar - yes.
    gum, mints, vitamins, etc - no.

    i also tend to not log my ketchup use. i know i really really should, but i'm scared to, lol. i need ketchup on basically any meat i eat, but i do try to limit the amount i use.

    I don't log gum, because as you chew you're burning those calories.

    Not mints but sometimes I will log in the gum I chew.

    I really do try to log every item of food I consume because even if it's just 3 Hershey's kisses, they still have calories.

    Sorry, sometimes I forget how badly some people eat. It's hard because my perspective is different than others. I haven't stepped into a fast food joint in years, as an example. I don't eat much processed food at all. So, I'm just thinking gum and stuff like that. I don't log coffee because it's 5 calories and I have 3 or 4 cups. Big whoop. That's a rounding error.

    For me, pretty much everything... except the splash of milk on my oatmeal. However I'm of the thought that if you're losing weight, whatever you're doing is working. If it stops working, make sure portions are correct, log little things you weren't logging before, that sort of thing.
