    I found it!!! I was putting hyphens in the wrong area. I also found out that my multi-vit has 10 calories and 1gram of fat. Do I need to be this particular?

    its debatable..but really 9 calories you will burn by walking up a flight of stairs....i wouldnt stress over it a lot of people dont count coffee..*plain*...but if it is something that will make you feel guilty by not logging it ..then i understand....good luck :flowerforyou:

    I log everything over 20 calories...not sure if this will help you or not...it works for me because in the longrun i dont want to micromanage...:flowerforyou:

    I never add black coffee....I consider that a freebie.

    I am new......so I guess I want to get the most out of this, but if you dont think I need to add my coffee or multi-vit then I wont stress. I do understand your point about burning it. I am just amazed about how much I put in my mouth that has some sort of calorie or fat.

    Yah! I can be a little obsessive about it. I am sure I will be more relaxed, but am afraid of falling off track. Thanks for the advice!! The least amount of stress, the better!

    That's how I feel too! If you add my 16oz of coffee at 9 calories, and my multi-vit that's 10, that's 19 calories that could go unaccounted for. It all add's up!
