Calories and Supplements

Just a quick question:

Do folks count the calories, etc from their supplements?

For example:
My Naturalpatic Doctor has suggested that I take Fibersure or Metamucil (among so other things) each day. Do others count those calories?

    Well I do. I take the lifepak Nano and I was actually surprised it had calories. When I finally figured that out, I started counting them. :laugh:

    I don't...I take a multi, extra calcium, Vit D, and fish oil I figure it's appx 20 cals altogether, but I don't worry about.

    I do - since they have calories. But even more importantly - I can also go back and track that I actually took them each day since I recorded them and I have a record of not only the food I have eaten, the exercises i have done, but the supplements I have taken (I even enter if they have 0 calories...just to track)

    Um, given they rarely top 25, I tend to be lazy and don't bother :laugh: but if you're strict about that, you totally could/should.
