    I don't bother counting the single vitamin tablet I take a day. In light of the big picture, (no pun intended) it is meaningless to me.

    Thankfully all of the vitamins I've tried have scanned successfully with the barcode scanner and brought up the nutritional information. Makes it easy to track them

    I log them, but it's more because I have to take them all dang day and can't always remember when I took the last one. I used to write it down, now I log. :)

    Vitamins do not have calories. If your vitamin supplement does, you could try and find a different brand.

    technically taking a tylenol has calories, too. I've never believed in weighing out my food to the nearest milligram and I'm not worried about getting my intake logged down to the nearest 0.5calories. I'd probably stop logging completely if I had to try to be that exact.

    I log mine and some of them have a chunk of calories, the flaxseed oil ones and garlic oil ones etc.

    You can scan the bar code on the bottle, or you can do a Quick Add for the calories.

    Just to make a point, the odd 40 calories or less isn't going to make much difference to your weight loss journey if you are actually overweight.
