    I don't log when I have coffee with creamer at work. I figure the calories are too few to worry about and I've still been losing weight so I'm doing alright. I usually only have one cup.

    For exercise, I've been playing the keyboard as part of my exercise. I walk two miles a day and supplement it with playing the keyboard. I only count the music playing if I do it for 30 minutes or more at a time. Often I'll play a few songs when I have time, like when I'm home at lunch, and I don't bother keeping track of how long I did it or how many calories it burned.

    I figure the two cancel themselves out. Maybe the calories I burn from the keyboard playing I don't count burn off the calories from the coffee I don't count. hehe!

    Food: I don't log salt, spices, condiments. I log everything else!

    Exercise: I don't log cleaning, doing laundry, gardening, walking my dog. I do those things too slowly!

    I don't log my coffee (little cream and sugar). The only time I log it is if I go somewhere and get a latte or mocha. Then I log it...but my morning coffee...nope

    Other than that, I pretty much log everything...

    oh..and I don't log daily housework. If it's above and beyond what I normally do (such as mowing the lawn) then I'll log it but laundry or cleaning (unless its DEEP cleaning where I'm moving furniture and stuff), I don't log it

    I don't log my creamer, and if I have a piece of hard candy or something, I stay under my goal to make up for not logging it. I don't log my exercise because mfp never seems to be accurate.

    I log everything from a food standpoint, including herbs and spices. I log cleaning only if I've done some deep cleaning that takes more effort than just running the vacuum.
  • I don't log herbs and spices and I don't log meh hot sauce :D

    I don't consider that exercise even if you do burn calories.

    I consider stuff like that to be normal TDEE so I don't log it either. I have the FitBit though, so I know how much extra activity I'm doing vs. more of a sedentary day, and the FitBit will adjust the MFP number anyway... though I don't use that an excuse to eat everything in sight.

    I do not do the water consumption log - I have enough things to log already.
    I don't log coffee or tea and the rare diet soda that I have I don't log (no calories and the sodium content is usually very small in the ones I drink)

    For awhile I was not logging ANY beverages or foods unless they had calories but it occurred to me that some of the things I drink may not have calories or sugar, but they might have things I do log... for example, Sobe No Cal LifeWater has Potassium (some varieties) and minimal sodium, etc. I have had to start paying attention to logging some no cal foods too, like relish and mustard because those things do have sodium, etc.

    Spices I generally do not log either.
    Sometimes I throw some Cinnamon Sugar on things like sweet potatoes, so I log that.

    I don't log when I'm traveling, it's too hard. I know I'm overeating, but try to get in some kind of activity, treadmill, eliptical, sightseeing, swimming.

    I always forget to log my water and tea. I know both have 0 calories

    Water. I have a 20-ounce mug at work, and I refill it twice during the day, so I know I'm getting 60 ounces of water before I head home. When I get home, I usually have two or three 16-ounce glasses of water during the evening. So, I'm really not concerned about how much water I'm getting.
  • I don't log things like sips of my kiddos' milkshakes or a bite of someone else's meal. I mean, really. I try not to get overly obsessive about MFP, and I figure I'll "burn off" a sip of milkshake when I run upstairs and brush my teeth!!

    mostly herbs and spices, sweetener ( like truvia).. sometimes I don't log my condiments... I know, I know I should probably be logging everything.

    Vitamins, green tea, water(i drink enough)

    Mustard, Altoids, Splenda, Crystal Light, spices, garlic, ginger
  • I don't log herbs + spices, black coffee, or the 1-2 cups of tea with a splash of milk in the evening. Neither do I log it where I've licked the spoon after portioning out greek yoghurt, or where I'm tasting my cooking (with the one exception of peanut butter - I always weigh + log peanut butter).

    As for exercise - I don't log housework (mainly because I'm lazy and do a lot of it :embarassed: ). I don't log any regular walking (to the shops, to/from work, walking around at work) which maybe amounts to an hour a day, but I have my activity level set as lightly active to offset that anyway. I do log the long walks/hikes I go on at the weekend with my mum though - they're usually 10 miles/5 hours and the calorie burn tends to "pay" for the bottle of wine afterwards :happy:

    Sometimes salt in my recipes - forget. Tiny cheese samples from Kroger. The butterscotch candy I had in my doctor's office the other day....bites of peoples food that I taste.

    I always log vitamins, sugar added to coffee/tea, tea itself - zero calorie stuff of which I want a running record! I'm surprised at the vitamin non-loggers. But then again, I have a tough time remembering to take all my vitamins, so logging is a way to help me remember :) other people may not be as useless as me on that front :P

    Black coffee, coke zero, sprite zero, spices, vitamins, gum if I grab a chip or pretzel from the bag in passing. Snacked on some ice cream sprinkles last night, didn't log.

    I'm usually 100-200 under a day so I think I'll be ok.
