Multi-Vitamins?

I take 3 different multi-vitamins a day, all vegetarian/vegan, as my health has gone down hill since I stopped eating meat 2 years ago as I don't eat many different veggies or any fruits. I am trying to get better at that, trying different things but until then I've been told the best thing I can do is take them to top up on what I'm missing out on.
Basically, should I log them? I've seen some people do it & I'm not sure if I should or not.

    I log mine. Not so much to get calorie content or anything, but more to make logging everything I consume a habit.

    Yeah...otherwise you won't know if you are getting the nutrition you should given that you said you hadn't been.

    I log mine just so I know if and when I took them.

    I think it's a good idea to log supplements. Some (like fish oils) can be up to 30 calories - if you are taking them as suggested!
    I usually add mine to the "notes" section if there is not defined calorie count.

    LOL that's what I do too. I'm terrible at remembering to take them, so I log them to remind myself. Now that they show up in my "Most Used" list, it's like a daily reminder.

    I log mine, but I recently heard they weren't very good for you because they are chemically made etc :S
