Foods you don't count

Don't tend to log condiments apart from mayo of course, but then again I probably have 1-2 servings of ketchup or mustard a week, so it's not a big deal.

Don't log spices or herbs either.

Always log coffee as I drink it with milk and rather a lot of it too, don't log the occasional cup of tea with milk, don't log herbal teas or zero calorie drinks (even if they have say 5 calories per serving).

Don't log sugar free gum or after dinner mints (if I'm having a mint it's because I've gone out to dinner and probably have blown my calorie allowance anyway).

Finally I don't log the occasional bite I steal off my husband - that's the only thing I feel I should change as all these bites add up. If I've nicked a substantial amount I'll log it as half a sandwich or something.

I diligently count everything except spices.

coffee

In addition to herbs/spices, I don't log mustard, and I don't log veggies in small amounts, like the toppings on my sandwich (single slice of tomato and onion, a few slices of pickle, a single leaf of lettuce...). I do log ketchup and other spreads/dips though, those can add up.

ETA: Also, diet soda. I drink a ton of it, and don't count it at all.

Spices and herbs, that's it! My diary is a mammoth read sometimes lol!

I don't log herbs & spices, salt & pepper - they're pretty much close to 0 and frankly I'd rather be over my goal by a few calories than faff about trying to measure and log them.

I can be pretty rough & ready when logging salad leaves and some veggies, but again they're so low calorie it doesn't make a major difference.

Yes I agree with this - spices don't get logged here or dash of ketchup and whilst I do log things like leafy greens, I don't measure them meticulously like other items - the calorie content is so low, a difference in accuracy by guessing isn't going to make any difference really.

i dont log spices unless i KNOW they have calories (am i ignorant and dont know that the ones i use have cals??), i dont log my splenda intake (yeah i know artificial sweeteners are bad).. i dont log my gum.. and usually forget to log an occasional mint after mexican dinner. other then that i log everything. even my vitamins.

oh i havent been logging my melatonin vitamins lately because i didnt know i was gonna use them.. but usually i have at least 30 calories left over so technically they are accounted for. just not logged.

oh and coffee. but isnt coffee zero calorie unless you add stuff? i dont log tea either.. or any zero cal drinks.

I don't know what spices you use, but I was logging some recipes and googled the calories for the spices I used out of sheer curiosity and it was pretty surprising (we're talking up to 30 cals per tablespoon - don't recall which though). Coffee is about 5-8 calories per cup (just black) from what I understand, but I may be mistaken.

Yes some spices may be up to 30 calories per tablespoon - but who ever eats a tablespoon of a spice in one time?? - the tiny bit of pepper you sprinkle on your food or the pinch of nutmeg in your cake recipe - not going to make any difference to your calorie intake that day.

Herbs and spices, garlic, diet soda, coffee.

I often estimate salad greens (1 cup/1.5 cups), although at other times I weigh them.

Spices, gum, sweetener, coffee, those 1/5 of a second spray oil or I can't believe it's not butter spray, water mixers in the pouch or liquid water enhancers, "insignificant" licks and bites, Taco Bell sauce pack...
