What *don't* you track in your diary?

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..

    spices, creatine, fiber supplement, the spritz of olive oil in my eggs each morning, tastes of food while cooking.

    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.

    Water. I'm not big into tracking it in general. Maybe I should pay a little more attention, but it's calorie-less, so I don't worry about it too much.

    cookies.....i never track cookies! LOL!

    Seriously though, I am with you. I don't track herbs mostly because of the time involved in tracking it. I do track almost everything else. However, there have been times when I added "extra calories" over all to my day because I took a small bite of a bagel or some other little nibble that is hard to account for.

    Spices. Unless I enter it as a recipe, then I add the spices to that.

    I log just about everything - the reason I log most spices and herbs is that if i really enjoyed something I want to have something to refer to - I rarely follow recipes so it helps me :smile:

    I sometimes forget to log condiments. But not the ones with fat (mayo, dressing, etc.)

    Anything that I eat between meals, or late at night. Otherwise, I will go int the red and it depresses me.

    I don't track Vitamins, Mustard, seasonings and Spices.

    I would/will track other condiments such as Ketchup and Mayo, and probably will track my fish oil supplement when it comes in (that's going to be over 100 cal a day so I need to track it).

    I also don't track coffee (black) but track what I add -if it has calories. Don't track the Truvia, do track the Cream.

    :)
