I am Indian and use a mirage of spices in all my cooking. I track all the major ingredients and anything I think might have more than 10-20 calories. But I do not track individual spices and servings used.

What don't you track in your diary?

Edit: I don't track coffee/water as well.

    Coffee and no fat creamer. No idea why. Never started I guess.

    I don't track things that have no calories.
    I don't weigh things that have very low calorie density, but I do estimate and track those.
    I don't track vitamins, which do have calories.

    same here, for the most part. i might be bringing in a few calories that i'm not counting, but i'm trying to maintain, not lose.

    Vegetables (I just cannot be bothered to figure out how much I ate... the height of laziness but trust me, I don't eat enough for it to add up to anything substantial).

    Zero calorie drinks (one diet coke a day. I hardly need to track that).

    Mayonnaise (I don't know why... I just never think to enter it).

    Mustard (same as above).

    Ketchup (same as above).

    And that's it. I think.... haha.

    Any vegetable that was 0 points in weight watchers. If I can eat an infinite amount of celery in one system, I can eat an infinite amount of celery in another system.

    The only things I don't track are diet sodas - I don't count them as water either, obviously. I just don't drink much soda in general, maybe a total of one soda per week, so I don't bother with it.

    Herbs and spices and no calorie drinks (water, coffee, tea, diet soda, etc.).

    Everything else goes in there.

    Generally tomato and onion slices that I put on my sandwiches. I just don't find it significant enough to worry about.

    - Herbs & Spices
    - Juice (the kind you water down) - I drink it everyday as I hate plain water, it's way too hard to measure out, but I estimated that it's only around 30 calories at the most in a day so there's no point really.

    Everything else I track :)

    I don't track my alcohol consumption...because it's only once-twice a month I drink, and only a drink or two at most.

    I sometimes don't track condiments, ketchup, mustart, mayo, but I have limited my intake to 1/2 tbsp per serving, so they're low cal/low fat anyway....

    I even track my vitamins.... so I don't think there is much I DONT track :)

    I guessitmate on spices while cooking, but I always add in the salt and fat - condiments like ketchup/mayo add up FAST and I try to watch my sodium. I guess I don't pay much attention to pepper/cumin/coriander/curry etc..

    My gummy multivitamin. Food preparation. Usually trips to the store and things like that.

    I do track spices most of the time, partly because one of my favorites is chili powder, which as a surprising amount of calories for a spice.
