    Yes, otherwise why even do it at all.

    Those little negligible calories add up quickly.

    If not, how low does the food need to be to be omitted?

    Ex. would you add a 25 calorie food?
    20?
    15?
    5?
    Well I add coffee and its 5. I add a little extra fiber to my coffee and its 30. I add soymilk to my coffee and its 20. So in all my coffee is 55. If I have 2 cups its 110. So, if I didn't count anything below 20 or 30 my coffee would be free.....wish it worked that way.

    Short answer: YEP

    I add everything. Even zero calorie items because it also helps me track what I'm eating. To me the point is about discipline. If I'm going to log that day, I'm going to do it all the way.

    I'd be curious to know how many people out there who struggle and claim that "it isn't working" don't log everything and don't weigh and measure their foods. I see the posts all the time..."I'm doing everything right, how come it's not working?" My guess is that they don't feel like they can nibble on this or that and that and that somehow those calories don't add up. If it's not working, then you're probably not doing everything right IMHO...that would include logging everything.

    Completely agree.
