    all the stuff you mentioned and i've never logged booze and i am totally fine with that.
  • Pretty much the a same.... don't always measure green veggies either. More of a guesstimate I suppose. . Then again its more about getting a general idea than an exact figure to me. I'll she the exact science things your a tons when I need to fine things things.

    did you have a stroke while typing that last sentence?!

    ROFLMAO x 10

    That was pretty frekin funny LOL

    Hahahaha omg...

    The lemon I squeeze over my ice. Semen. Gum.

    How many calories are in that, exactly?

    About 2 1/2-5 calories -- I looked it up.

    Hmmm...good topic...

    Coffee, not the cream, but coffee itself
    Spices
    Sweeteners, excluding sugar
    Mustard( I never use alot)
    Vitamins(When I remember to take them)
    Water(I don't log water because I drink it all day long, literally...my bf thinks I'm crazy cause it doesn't even have to be cold :-)
    Gum

    I think that covers most of it...I know sometimes I over estimate calories so that may make up for a thing or two here and there. For example raisins in my oatmeal...the serving size is 1/4 cup which I definitely do not use in a bowl of oatmeal, I just sprinkle a few. But I'm not going to count and figure each one...I just estimate.

    Sometimes I'm off a little logging foods even with a food scale, usually its my drinks. I'll round to the nearest half ounce. I won't log my spices and any dinner condiments (hot sauces, worchestire sace, etc). And, my last is coffee, I log my milk and sugar but not the beverage.

    It took a lot of digging, but someone actually did an analysis. The calories are negligible but it's still an interesting fact. lol

    I don't log more than 3 alcoholic drinks but I rarely have more. I also don't log artificial sweeteners.

    I plan my food out ahead of time and stick to it, if I eat something other than that I will add it , if it has no calories then I do not worry.I also don't worry about ketchup, mustard, spices , milk in coffee or if it is a cheat day I will not add the extra cookie I had because I do not want to obsess over every crumb I have but that said my cheat days are not full blown pig out sessions either, they are reg healthy eating days with a little extra added like the 3 cookies I had today and enjoyed!

    Needed a good laugh today. Feel better because I don't log those things either. My nutritionist said don't worry but I worry about everything. Judging by the responses its normal. Thanks

    This made me laugh. I am going to be in Vegas at the end of the month don't think I can log anything while I am out there. I think it is against the local laws, happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Hope I don't bring too much of it back with me in the form of extra pounds.

    Dance with the strippers. It'll cancel out the calories.

  • So I will admit. I don't log every bite.

    Here are the items I skip:
    1. stevia/calorie-free sweeteners
    2. Tea (unless I add sugar)
    3. The splash of almond milk in my tea (it is only a couple of teaspoons, considering that 1/4 of a cup is 10 calories...I think it is OK)
    4. gum
    5. vitamins (even the gummies)
    6. cough syrup
    7. lemon juice/lime juice/vinegar
    8. most spices


    Fess up, what is your diary missing?

    I don't log black coffee, tea,spices, my meds, which are Centrum, garlic, magnesium and DHEA, and I don't log everything that is zero calories.
    I don't use calories that I previously burned doing exercises, so I stay within my calories allowance no matter what I do.

    Diet soda, spices, spenda, and most things that only have 10 calories. :smile:

    The sugar in my coffee, spices, vitamins (when I remember to take them), probiotics, black coffee, flax meal, anything under 20 calories I usually don't log. Maybe that's why I'm not losing...

    Oh, and this beer that I'm drinking right now, I won't be adding.
  • The sugar in my coffee, spices, vitamins (when I remember to take them), probiotics, black coffee, flax meal, anything under 20 calories I usually don't log. Maybe that's why I'm not losing...

    Flax meal has a fairly good amount of calories, better log that!
    I used to not log my coffee creamer, until I figured that I use almost 300 calories per day in coffee creamer, that is almost the amount of a meal, since I know that I log it.
    Once in a greatwhile I use Splenda, it has zero calories, but it counts towards carbs.
    So basically everything should be logged. But I don't do that either. Instead I try to stay a little below my calorie allowance, and that way I am losing.

    Hi, Read the post yesterday and decided to log everything today. Wow. That's an eye opener! I don't think I will always log everything but I think its good practice in the early days or if you are on a tight calorie budget.

    I stopped logging my work. I teach swim lessons, so I'm in the pool 3-8 hours a day, 4-5 days a week, plus a couple "dry" shifts... But, I've decided I've been there long enough and doing it long enough that it should be counted as my "normal daily activity" and not as exercise. I also ignore the 0 calorie Monster Ultimate Zero drinks I occasionally get when I need a caffeine boost... (Down to less than 1 a week, where before I was getting at least 3 a week.)
