Just out of curiosity, how many people on here add their vitamins to their journals? I'm just curious because I know that many of us take vitamins, Omega-3's, etc., but how many people add them to the journals because they do increase your calories, albeit a small amount?

    I don't count my vitamins since there aren't many calories.

    I take a multi vitamin and fish oil supplement. Fish oil is only 10 calories each so it's not too bad. I also take a calcium chew which is 20 calories. No impact what so ever really.

    I added a "meal" to my meal list I call "supplements". I include all vitamins and supplements, the fish oil I take has 35 calories.

    I add mine in as well, they just get multi added as part of breakfast. It reminds me to take them too.

    I add them, calories are negligible. And anyone who's monitoring my dairy (or anyone else's) and thinks you didn't "win" that day if you go over your calories by a few... well, they are simply poo-poo heads.

    I don't because it's just more work and what I take doesn't change day to day. Plus it's not like I'd stop taking them to be at or under my calorie goals. They are medicine to me, not food.

    I have just started taking supplements and am logging to catch nutrient counts and to ensure I remember.

    I had gastric bypass....while I got rid of my diabetic and high blood pressure, I take a boat load of vitamins...as recommended by my surgeon and my blood work.

    multi vit twice a day
    Calicum with Vit D three times a day
    B1 once a day
    B12 once a day

    I will have more blood work in February and this can change.

    I post whenever I take vitamins, Emergen-Cs, fiber... I pretty much try to log everything because everything counts. But with that said I also log in the 15 minutes or so that I'm walking around the office from one task to another since my setting is for sitting all day- which I mostly am at work.
