Too Detailed?

I log everyting, and I usually seperate it just like you do. You won't find many drinks on mine because I drink mostly water. But, if I drink something other than water, you bet it shows up on my log. I log everything that goes into my mouth.0

I log drinks other than water or green tea. Basically anything I know has calories.0

Congrats on logging your fluids, keep it up.
FYI...I do, too!0 -
I do the same! Anything that enters my mouth enters my food diary. After all it works best if you account for everything! I do drink alot of water and other than that the occaional wine which is noted as well. I also keep in mind that fellow MFP's added the food choices so also try to make sure they match what I am adding. After all we may have eaten different amounts of the same thing. Hope this helps!0

I log it all......the good, bad, and sometimes ugly......if I eat it, I log it.
But, to each their own.0 -
i log everything. i drink mostly water though, but if i have a soda or oj, i log it0
-
I tend to forget to log water, but I log everything else! I even log breathmints! For example, I'm drinking tea right now. It has 0 cals, and 0 everything else, but I still log it, regardless.0

I log drinks with calories such as V8, soy milk, wine, beer and milk. But I don't log drinks without calories like tea or water.0
-
I log everything, including toast/spread/marmite etc. - Everything individually!
I'm only going to kid myself if I enter the "generic" stuff that's in the database.0 -
I log every bite that crosses my lips and any liquid that isn't water. Rarely do I have anything else, but it's all there! Also, I get as accurate as possible and very often make my own recipes or log every seperate ingredient. It's really the only way to know what you're really taking in0

I log every thing I eat or drink. I don't drink any pop at all (8weeks strong) but when I was sick I logged my diet gingerale even though it has no calories, it does have sodium!0

I log everything. Just because someone else logged garlic bread it does not mean the same kind of butter, bread or amount of each was used. It makes a difference.0

I log everything. I use the counter at the bottom of the diary to log water and it's mostly all I drink. I have used the recipe calculator to figure out the nutrition info for some of my recipes per serving. If I'm logging something I've entered in My Recipes I just enter the name instead of every ingredient. Like you, I log the bread and margarine for my toast seperately. Just do whatever works best for you.:happy:
I always log any liquid I drink that's not water in my diary. And like other posters I even log the little crystal light to go packages if I use one in my water.0 -
You are not being too detailed at all! I certainly drink mostly water, so there aren't a lot of drinks logged. I always advocate logging separate ingredients because logging just "garlic bread" could be wildly inaccurate based on the recipe the person who entered it used.
That being said, I do estimate sometimes because I live on a college campus and I really don't know the recipes used in the cafeteria. I will just log what sounds close in that case.0 -
I have (personal) rule: if it goes in your mouth, it gets logged. So, no, there is no such thing as too detailed. Log away!0
-
Anything that enters my mouth is logged into my diary.......Never too detailed0
-
The more you log, the better accuracy you have. Additionally, you will be able to see if there is a pattern that either needs to be broken or shaken up.0
-
I log anything with calories. My beverages of choice are diet soda and water so I rarely log any drinks.0
-
I even log my supplements....0

water only.0
