Do any of you have "free" foods that you don't add in your calorie count?

    I log seasonings sporadically, I generally don’t log black coffee, i log tea and seltzer as water, I often eyeball garlic and ginger and lettuce, etc. sometimes I’ll log diet drinks, sometimes I won’t. Sometimes I’ll pull apart my takeout to weigh the ingredients, but sometimes I go by what I had the last time.

    I have been logging since May 2018 and I’ve been keeping to my goals, so I will tighten up if my weight starts to creep up.

    I use a generic ‘garden salad without dressing’ to log raw vegetables regardless of the vegetable.

    That’s smart. I should try that especially since I hate logging tomatoes and other veggies I put in my salad.

    Diet coke, but I'm also not drinking litres of it.

    Sometimes when I take a few cherry tomato's or snack cucumbers I don't log them and
    lettuce I just eye ball it when needed. Same goes for drinks that are like 2 calories a glas or tea. I also never log the seasoning I add like cinnamon to my oatmeal or a pinch of salt and pepper.

    I don't log coffee, tea, spices, herbs or vitamin gummies (yeah, there's some calories there) or the electrolyte supplements I use when hiking. That's where my laziness begins.
    I try to log everything else even if it isn't pretty.

    There are no free foods in my system but there are foods that need not be logged separately. If I am putting mustard on a sandwich I do not log the mustard but some calories for mustard are included in my log somewhere.

    Since it's summer, and our garden is going like crazy, we generally don't log fresh veggies. Onions, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers. . .

    We do log high-sugar stuff like sweet corn.
