    I try to log everything. Even to the point where I have the next day planned out if I switch I change it to reflect what I really had.

    yes. Lattes usually have 150+ calories. Be careful.

    Yeah I choose small nonfat double shot lattes so less milk, therefore less calories :P

    If you put it in your mouth, put it in your diary. All the little extras you don't log add up.

    Yep, it all adds up and before you know it..... AHHHH!

    I log everything with calories, but I'm bad at logging water, plain tea, etc... But, if I indulge in a macchiato (sp?), I log it.

    I try to as best as I can but like last night I ate my daughter's pizza crust but didn't add that in. I did have some excercise cals leftover so I was probably on target so as long as we know then our bodies aren't going to know we didnt input something on the computer. :)

    What is the point if you don't log everything? It's all about being accountable to yourself. Some weekends I really blow it by drinking wine but I still account for it. Good luck!

    Yeah true, but I'm always under. If I logged the oil I used or the number of sips I've had from someone's drink then I'd probably be on track. It's not like I'm cheating myself... I'm not eating nuts or mini chocolates and then not logging them, ya know! It's more I can't be bothered sometimes haha and my internets slow.

    Everything within reason, ie not gum, I don't chew enough. But otherwise, yes, otherwise you may be over and not realize it. Especially since the scale hasn't been moving for me, so I really started to log diligently and I think it'll really make a difference.

    Read through the replies. WOW I wouldn't have thought to log vitamins, omega supplements, stevia, black coffee because I dind't think there were calories. should I definitely be doing that then?

    You don't log your olive oil either?

    I dont log like gum and stuff like that..lol but otherwise everything

    I have to log my gum because I'm a chain chewer when it comes to gum - I just go through the entire pack. All of those 5 cal pieces really add up so it's really curbed my habit.

    I log everything I eat.

    I don't bother with my tea, 2 sweeteners, skimmed milk, as a) i drink tons of it (b) its next to no calories (c) Sometimes i only drink half the cup, other times a couple of mouthfuls, etc and (d) i leave myself a few hundred cals leeway at the end of each day.

    Yep, feeling you. Totally.

    I usually don't use it so it's very occasional. I have recently been logging my salad dressings which includes olive oil. I give myself a few hundred calories leeway each day - oil and latte for example.

    Stevia and black coffee doesn't have any calories. I wouldn't worry about it. Just log things with calories, I guess.

    I can understand that. I used to not either, then I quickly learned that was mistake. There are 120 cal in 1 tbl of oil.

    To each their own. I just think there is no way to full know exactly how many calories we are eating a day so I like to log everything to have a better estimate.
