Hey,
I am new to trying this and was wondering if I am supposed to count liquids in my daily calories? Things like milk, soda,juice, ect. Any help is appreciated! I want to be successful at this and was just wondering about that. Thanks!

    Yes. Most liquids - except for plain water - will contain calories.

    If liquids have sugar, sodium and/or calories, then yes they have to be counted. This is why nutritionist will tell you to drink black cofffe and your 64 ounces of water a day.

    Ketchup has sugar in it as well, so it does have to be counted

    Yes, count liquids. Many people consume a lot of their calories from the liquids they consume. Especially from sodas, juices, etc.

    And yes, ketchup DOES have calories - so it should be counted.

    Keep charging!

    Heck Yeah! Once you start counting your calories you will see just how many "empty" calories we consume. I would suggest staying away from any soda or juice (even the "natural" ones). I hardly ever drink juices anymore because I was personally out of control with it. Good luck on your journey and make sure you pretty much count everything. I found out even gum has about 5 calories!

    Anything that goes in your mouth. And with liquids, stick to water. Sodas and juice have way to much crap, calories sugars and things you don't need if your trying to lose weight.

    If you didn't count that, you could be missing a LOT of calories, which could completely derail your weight loss.

    You have to! You'll be surprised how many calories are in a cup of milk or juice.
