      I don't log my vitamins, green tea (don't add anything but lemon) or ketchup or mustard
      Everything else I log (good or bad)

      gum, spices. i know this is horrible, but sometimes olive oil/canola oil (unless there's a lot of it and I'm following a recipe)

      I have logged stevia, but sometimes I don't. I don't log pepper but I do log salt. I log all my alcohol, cream for my coffee, and stuff like that.

      I skip most of the same stuff as you. I also get a little lazy, and if I have a bite of something, I'll just factor up on another item I'm logging to show the calories. For veggies, I might double up on one of the veggies so I don't have to log 5 or 6 different items that are 10 or 15 cals each. I just report like double portions of 3 things instead.

      I pretty much log everything, except like a splash of milk in oatmeal, a dash of spice on a meal.
      I don't consume alcohol very often, but next time I do, I doubt I'll log it.

      even everything I do log though, a lot of it is guestimates. I don't actually weigh any of my foods, so I just overestimate it all.

      i do log vitamins because i like to see what they add to the nutrients that are tracked.

      Black coffee, stevia, lightly used spices, gum.

      I'm so glad you posted this. I forgot about my multi helping track my nutrients. Lol

      Spices, nibbles of food unless it ends up being substantial, the diet soda I have once or twice a month, a small snack I eat sometimes at 3 a.m haha

      I don't log my work. I'm a manager for an Italian restaurant, And I'm on my feet for like 45 hours a week. I know I'm burning calories, but don't log them. Should I?

      Maybe you should invest in a fitbit?

      I try to log everything, though I don't really care if I forget to log tea since I drink it plain.

      I log everything else (spices and 0 calorie things included) because I'm also watching sodium intake and while something may not have calories, it's not necessarily free of sodium.

      Yes! Strap on a pedometer and you'll be surprised just how far you cover!

      No that's why it ask you in the set up part of this website how active your daily life is. It adds those in for you :)
    • Posts: 419 Member
      It depends. If I'm on a vlcd day I log everything but 0cal items. If i'm on a full allowance day I don't log tiny amounts of almond milk, etc.

      I log absolutely everything... water, supplements, 0 calorie things... that way you can look at weaknesses and moderate sodium (*water retention*) intake

      Condiments. A girl can't give away ALL her secrets! :wink:

      I would definitely invest in a fitbit since you're walking so much! Or at least a pedometer, but the fitbit is more comprehensive.

      That guy I killed.

      No paper trail.


      But if you ate him, you'd log that, right?

      I don't log my water, I drink 2L plus a cup or three of black or green tea, I never miss my water. When I'm at work I have to taste things, so usually depending on what kind of a prep day it's been I'll quick add 100 cals. Other than that i log everything, vitamins and all.

      I leave out the non nutritive items like tea, diet soda, etc... not a lot. skipping items will not help you figure out whats going wrong when you hit a platu
