Sweet Tooth

This may be a silly question, but here goes it...
I am not a sweet-tooth person, but I do eat an occasional piece of candy or gum.
Do you guys add that into your food diary guys?

I add EVERYTHING to my diary. It helps me so that I don't over do it. Also, there are so many types of sugar free gums now a days that are ZERO calories that I have a drawer full! I have ice cream flavors that I LOVE! ALL of the sugar free and ZERO calories.0

I too, add everything! Even the hershey's nuggets0

I add everything, having to log what I eat stops me picking at food at work and snacking late at night (as soon as I've had my evening cup of tea I complete my days entry and this stops me eating anything else)0

Yeah, some of us can get out-of-control on the sweets, my personal kryptonite is Brach's chocolate covered peanut clusters.
Last time I bought a bag (before I joined here, and wasn't dieting at the time) it lasted about 40 minutes... lessee here, (looks up calories)
.... 2318 calories ....
damn. that's scary. note to self: keep clusters far, far away.
so yeah, candy totally has to be counted.0 -
I can't chew gum, my jaw is all messed up, but candy- yes... Sometimes I'll have 1 and only 1 m&m from my kids, I won't count that, but I tend to add everything. Everything adds up!0

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't0

Yup, guess even one single peanut M&M has some value, good and bad.
Thanks guys for the input, wasn't sure but I think I know what I'm going do now...
