    I don't track calories burned from normal, everyday activities:

    Cleaning the house
    folding laundry
    mowing the lawn
    shopping
    cooking
    showering
    breathing
    etc.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Alcohol and exercise ...

    Before we get all "Why are you even here then?" my twisted logic is on my blog ;)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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. :)

    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...
