How do I figure out the calories in vitamins/supplements?

ScottishMrs

I take a lot of vitamins and supplements for various reasons (a total of 14 pills a day), but none of the bottles have calories on them and I'm sure that taking that many pills has a good number of calories in it. Any idea how to account for these? Should I average it out to 10cal/pill for a total of 140cal?

If you have a smartphone, use the App scanner. I did this and then for the one that wouldn't scan, tried looking up them in general.

I came up with 47 calories for all the ones I could get information on and I have ALOT as well (14-15).

most should not have calories unless they contain macronutrients such as omega 3 supplements and promrose oil things like that. If there is carbs, protein, or fat in them they have to list it. If for some reason your supplments with fat don't have calorie total just remember 9 calories per gram of fat, 4 cals per gram of protein, 4 cals per gram of carbs.
