Anyone tracking their multi vitamin intake along with their meals? Do you add the vitamin as a food and just document that you take it everyday?

    I named one of my meals "supplements" and I log my vitamin there so I can see it in my micro-nutrients.

    I just scanned the bottle and it came up in the database as a food, with all the nutritional information and everything. Since I track my iron intake I do log it.

    I don't track my multivitamin intake but I do add the Vitamin C supplement I take every now and then since it's 25-35 calories depending on which brand I use.

    I just add my fish oil and blackstrap molasses, as between the two of them they are 69 calories.

    Like someone said above, I renamed one of my categories "Vitamins" then I set them up as a meal. That way I can add them all at once. (I pre-plan my day, then change if something happens)

    Must be sugar added. Likely that at 3,000 mg I'm taking more Vitamin C than you and there are no calories listed. It's just Calcium Ascorbate. I take it in warm water with blackstrap molasses which gives me 20% iron (I'm anemic) and the combination makes them less dreadful together than they would be alone, plus iron is better absorbed with vitamin C.

    Absolutely, I take a multivitamin and a B12 supplement in the morning with my breakfast.
