Do you log vitamins?

I take a multi- vitamin, and also vitamin C supplements when I'm feeling sick, should I be logging those in to keep track of everything I put into my body?

    Might as well. More info if you ever wonder down the road.

    i think it truly depends on the kind of logging you do. some people account for vitamins just because they literally account for every morsel entering their mouth. i do not log my multi-vitamin or my biotin for hair growth, but to each her own!

    I log my medicine and vitamins, but I only do so to remind myself to take them. LOL Otherwise I tend to forget.

    Vitamins are calorie-free nutrients. I don't know what point logging them would have, in terms of logging them like food.

    I like the gummy vitamins and calcium supplements, which adds up to 45cal of my breakfast, so yeah I log them. It also helps remind me to take them because it reinforces my morning routine.

    If they were only 5-10cal, I doubt I'd bother. But now I'm just used to it.

    The short answer: No. I don't log vitamins, supplements or coffee.

    I don't.

    I do log my coffee but only because I put milk in it.

    Actually it depends on the type. The gummy vitamins have calories and sugar and lots of other crap as fillers in them.

    Yeah, the gummies do have filler crap. I looked one up 15 calories, 3 grams of sugar. I don't know exactly where the other 3 calories come from, but unless someone can't stomach a real vitamin, I'd stay away from these all together.

    I do. It doesn't really change your calorie intake, but it can't hurt, right?

    I do, mostly so I can remember to take them, I'm horrible about remember but since I've been logging them I seem to remember.

    I log mine. I'm really making an effort to get enough calcium so this helps. Plus they have 15 calories in them lol.
