Do you log your supplements/vitamins?

Just curious to see who does and doesn't, and if there's a reason. I do log my daily multi, but just because on the phone app it's easier for me to look and see where my iron and calcium are at. IU3WOvV.gif

Speaking of - anybody know how to check your nutrient % on the website?

    I do mainly to remember taking them and because there are a few calories in fish oils. All part of logging everything that goes into my mouth.

    I only take calcium with Vitamin D because the research on the need to take anything else is underwhelming. But yes, I do track that because I try to get to 100% of calcium with only food and then add the tablet at the end of the day.

    Yep - I log mine. I have them saved as a recipe so I only have to enter one thing to log them all.

    That's a really good idea. I log mine because I like the gummy ones. I've never been good at swallowing those horse pills that calcium comes in, so I got the chewables and they have calories.

    Me too. I love the gummies! My vitamins add up to 45 calories a day - so that can add up over time.

    I log mine but only because I take the gummies and I track the calories in them.

    No. For me, that's a little obsessive.

    I take a multivitamin, Cacium w/ D, and Glucosamine Chondroitin.

    I do. I take a multivitamin, fish oil capsules, and CLA. It's easier to keep track of my nutrients and fish oil + CLA has calories and fat.
