Ugh - is it still like that? I emailed Support about that several times. I have since given up trying to get Support to fix erroneous system entries.
I haven't ran into it in a couple of months. Maybe it's fixed or fell to the bottom of the search results. That was the first erroneous entry I encountered on MFP, so it always sticks with me.0 -
dried spices, do they have that many calories in them, i would think maybe sodium would be high in some spices, but calories, LOL, mrs dash works well if your worried about sodium and calories, i dont think it makes that big of a difference for me anyways, its not like your using pounds of spices a day or maybe you are i dont no, good luck LOL0

The only spices i log are Mustard powder and curry powder that i add to my curried eggs and homemade burger patties, just those 2 alone add up to around 80 calories.
I don't bother with salt, pepper, chili flakes etc etc as the calories in those are negligible.1 -
The only one I really consider is paprika, as it has a significant number of calories and tends to be added in larger quantities than other spices. The rest of them I reckon to be not significant as it is only a pinch here and there.
I'm now wondering if I should change this approach.
Dying to know what OP put on those eggs!

I add depending on what it is..and if I'm building a recipe. Garlic powder is higher than most... Black pepper and salt when I scan the bar code is 0... So just depends.0

It's not worth to log them. Won't make any difference in weight loss at all0

I don't count spices and I don't count condiments either because I use the low-calorie varieties and put them on so thinly it wouldn't make hardly any difference anyway.0

I log the calories for my nutmeg and cinnamon in my morning porridge. It's a huge 4cals for both0

Lol this might sound weird but in a little bowl I'll mix turmeric, paprika, cumin, black pepper, garloc powder, red chili flakes, and cinnamon and salt.
Sounds weird but its freaking good.0 -

There are 19 calories in a Tablespoon of paprika. That is a lot of paprika.0 -
So, can I just call Bacon a spice and not log it?

I can easily use 2-3 Tbl in a stew that feeds 40 -
i dont log them. when i use the recipe builder sometimes theyre added in and look about right but for all intents and purposes - its not enough to make a difference to me0

I use a lot of spices and I'm surprised how some of them are high calorie. Always log everything. Be safe.1
