    I don't log anything from my garden that I eat before I get inside. :wink:

    Black coffee, herbal tea, salt, pepper, spices, fresh/dried herbs, vitamins, small bites of low cal stuff like pickles or veggies (1 circle of carrot or a single cherry tomato for example).

    I don't always log everything individually if I'm eating out - instead I'll estimate. Today's free conference lunch, for example, were two different half-sandwiches with the crusts cut off and about 6 small pieces of different fruits. That went in my diary as one chicken/salad sandwich and half a cup of fruit salad. I'm never going to be able to be particularly accurate with that kind of stuff and I'm fine with that.

    Something like spices, and coffee or tea which are always unsweetened for me. Sometimes I grab a few radishes (favorite snacky crunchy thing) and forget to log them. I don't worry about the few calories because I also don't log all extra movement/exercise/steps I do. Cancels it out
    and I'm losing weight just fine.

    Drinks? Anything without calories of course: Diet coke, black coffee (I record the milk and sugar), unsweet tea. Often I miss logging on weekends so mixed drinks get missed too, on weekends we eat bigger meals but only once or twice a day so it works out OK.

    Foods? A hershey's kiss or other small candy occasionally, fruits and vegetables if raw & not dressed with anything fatty I don't always log. Any herbs/spices/supplements, lemon juice or other nonfat not sugary dressings or flavorings.

    A few things don't get logged:
    -Tea
    -Coffee
    -Green veggies like Spinach/Broccoli/Brussel Sprouts.

    My logging it really just a rough guideline for me and not a bible.

    Anything less than 15 or 20 calories I don't bother with. Coffee, tea, water, non-fat condiments (ketchup, mustard), pickles, onions, mushrooms, lettuce, and the mist of spray butter for my popcorn all get ignored.

    I don't care about sodium or anything other than calories.

    I drink my tea unsweetened so I don't log that. I also don't log lettuce.

    Anything under 5 cals- diet sodas, teas, black coffee, pickles (depending on size), gum, and if I'm just grabbing one strawberry or something to munch on- id probably burn more calories logging it than what the one bite I had. I know it all adds up, but I don't bother
