I don't track calories burned from normal, everyday activities:
Cleaning the house
folding laundry
mowing the lawn
shopping
cooking
showering
breathing
etc.0 -
Right now, I'm not tracking anything! ...but that's only because I'm not lifting heavy and it's not as important for me to hit my macros exactly.
I still count calories, but I do a quick add up in my head at each meal. So far, so good. I'm still in a 'cutting' phase, and I'm losing weight, so I'll keep on until it stops working and/or when I lift heavy again.0 -
i have a food scale but always forget to weigh things before i eat it/prepare it.
i will guess on some things i'm not 100% sure on, especially if i'm not sure of my carb counts for the day.0 -
Alcohol and mustard and gum.
I forget to track water/teas0 -
I don't track any spices that have no sodium. I try to track the ones that do even if I rarely measure out exactly one quarter teaspoon when I shake them onto my food, lol.
Oh, also the olive oil cooking spray I use, no calories in that either.0 -
water and pickles0
-
Just air...that's pretty much it (besides spices)0
-
Alcohol and exercise ...
Before we get all "Why are you even here then?" my twisted logic is on my blog0 -
Herbs/spices
Condiments...though I'm working on that one.
I do track all liquids..some add to my sugar count which is one area I really need to watch...even if it's just 1 gram.0 -
I don't add the splash of milk I add to my eggs. I don't add the spices, and I don't add the extra walking I do sometimes at work.0
-
I don't track spices, or every bottle of water I drink. I do however track the cups of water..and I do track my vitamins..but this is merely for personal tracking just to make sure I am taking them.0
-
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....
Amen to this!0 -
The only thing I don't track are my 'daily' exercises like cleaning, walking up and down stairs etc...
Other than that I log every single thing, even water!0 -
spices, creamer, and condiments0

I dont track anything in my diary. I am my ideal weight and am here to maintain that weight, get fitter and support people and be supported. I also crack the odd joke. I used to track my intake, but found that people never actually read it and would say "wtg" etc whether I was up or down. I once put "pirate foods" such as hard tack and weevils as a jok and people didnt even see! So I dont much see the point.0
-
Water, herbal teas I drink with no sugar in them, spices/herbs and sometimes if I eat a very small amount of fruit (e.g. a couple of strawberries) I won't track that.
I also leave out some of the walking I do during the day if it's very short distances e.g. 5 mins there and back at a moderate pace...0
