Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if everyone logs the spices and seasonings they cook with in their food dairies?

I cook everyday, and I am always using different types of spices and seasoning on my food. I tend to use "no salt" varieties, but when I do I will input those to get my sodium information. but other than that I won't.

Just wanted to get some peoples thoughts on this, perhaps I am not seeing a realistic calorie intake because I don't log this information.

Thanks

    If there is no nutrition facts on the label, I don't log it. I assume that stuff like oregano, cumin, cilantro, etc, is so low it won't really matter. I log spice mixes for sodium tracking. Stuff like old bay, Emeril's essence, lemon pepper seasoning.
