What is one thing or more that you don't bother tracking calories
Replies
-
black or green tea (I drink it plain without sweetener or milk)
spices, herbs, ginger, and garlic in the recipe builder. Garlic entry is off so always adds 100s of calories incorrectly. Was correcting it til I realized it's only like 7 calories for the recipe so now I just delete it.
I'm sloppy about logging salads and raw veggies, but do log them. Even cooked low calorie veggies (steamed plain or with salt) I eyeball (broccoli, spinach, asparagus, green beans).0 -
mustard, black coffee/tea, water, spices0
-
Iceberg lettuce.0

Because I seldom use it, I don't track ketchup. Mustard either, since its calorie count is so low. When entering recipes, I typically don't add in herbs and spices (not including salt). Other than that, I track pretty much everything.0

Brewed coffee has fairly puny levels of potassium. Maybe you saw the level in the whole beans?

Most herbs and spices, leaf lettuces/cabbage when using the leaves for wraps, wasabi horseradish blend. I don't track anything that inherently has zero calories. The only exception to that is Splenda which actually does have 3 cals a packet and why I don't use it unless there is literally no other choice. I prefer Truvia to the point where I am planning on stashing some with me on my vacation.0

Water, diet soda, tea with 0 calorie sweetener added, the DaVinci 0 calorie raspberry syrup I add to my hot cocoa, mustard, hot sauce and then spices. Everything else is recorded.0

Salt. I don't add it to many things at all, but when I do, I'm not sure how to measure a couple shakes.2

Yeah, I don't measure any seasonings actually either and it doesn't affect my weight loss by not adding those

Same here. If it's 0 calories, why bother right? Lol

Mustard, Hot sauce and diet soda are the three main that I don't log. Spices are hit and miss, I have them added to some of my save meals, but in general I don't. Especially salt and pepper.0
-
I generally log everything. I sometimes skip things like hot sauce or if I add salt to a meal, but that's because I'm not generally that concerned about my sodium intake.0
-
Whipped cream. It's made from rainbows and puppy kisses and thus, i rrfuse to log it. 56 pounds down, i do log absolutely everything else, and whipped cream is not had very frequently.6
-
anything 0 cal like my mustard or stevia, sometimes I do mixed salad if I have forgotten to weigh my salad.0
-
Spices/seasonings. Also plain tea, water, and salt, but those are 0 calorie anyway.0
-
Tea, water - Everything else I eat has calories no matter how little/few. When I drank coffee (I miss you creamer) I would log the coffee.0

water, seasonings, garlic, mustard.0

chewing gum, tea (track the added milk though), I have weighed salad stuff before so I just use the same weights every time I track as the cal difference would be minimal, water, salt&pepper.0
