Vitamin/Calorie Question

I have been tracking my caloric intake pretty close and the vitamins I take equal about 60 calories. Should I track these also or do I need to be concerned with them? I can't take a straight multi-vitamin so I have broken it down to just some of the components the the doctors says I need. Hopefully you can tell me what you do with yours.

    I have a wellness coach who I emailed this question to so curious to see her answer. I was thinking that once your body uses the vitamin part it flushes the rest. Probably too good to be true and that extra 60 will have to accounted for. I will post her reply when I get it tomorrow.

    Why don't you just set your MFP calorie goal to whatever it is now minus 60? That way you don't even need to think about it.

    Crap. Thanks for the professional's opinion though.
