Do Supplements Count?

I have not , so far, been logging my supplements, should I be? Mostly I am curious about the fish oil, evening primrose oil, and vitamin e. That would certainly add to my fat calories I would think since I take them 3 times a day usually. I know alot of people take fish oil supplements , so should they get added to the food diary?

Thanks in advance.

    I think you should. I take 2 glucosomine/chondroitan (sorry about spelling) and 4 Omega-3 a day. That's an additional 65 calories a day. I even count the gum I chew. It keeps me honest.

    Of course you are right, I was just hoping the oil supplements might be some sort of phantom no-count calories, haha. I will start adding them in, see how it changes the numbers. I really can't lose my avocado!
