    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!

    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.

    There are 19 calories in a Tablespoon of paprika. That is a lot of paprika. :)

    So, can I just call Bacon a spice and not log it?

    I can easily use 2-3 Tbl in a stew that feeds 4

    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 me

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