    Extra virgin olive oil and there's a few other kinds, but as long as its not cooked, don't count it, u should take at least 2 tbsp a day! To make a long story short, It helps burn ur fat off even quicker! And is extremely good for u, and suppresses appitite!!

    I don't count calories from vegetable like lettuce, celery, tomatoes and bell pepper.

    I log these to get the other items in like fiber and carbs, etc.... I know they're negligible for calories though in normal amounts.

    Two tablespoons of EVOO is 250 calories raw or cooked. That seems like a lot of calories to just forget about. I agree fully that it's beneficial, but still.

    I only count one coffee a day. I usually have 2-3 with half and half in it.

    Spices and vitamins for sure. Not worth the effort to me. Also, I drink my water with a touch of lemon (like 2-6 drops per 12 oz) and I don't bother counting that.

    If I notice I'm skipping my veggies, I stop counting things like leafy greens and carrots to make sure I'm getting everything I need. I do count potatoes for sure.

    Does celery even count? I never eat it anyways.

    well since tea with nothing in it counts, I dont count that. Or gum but everything else, I count so I can know roughly how many to burn

    LUCKILY....I am diabetic, so all my gum, candy, and sweatener is sugar free...lol Know, dark humor, but true. It is well managed, so no hurts. I have thought about this stuff, too, though. I use mixed dried fruit in my oat meal in the mornings to get the carbs I need. Can only REALLY calculate that if you know exactly what fruit you are getting. Some fruit has more sugar that others. But I try not to think about it. everything seems to be working ok as is, so not gonna bother with it.

    I don't count my coffee with flavored creamer, tic-tacs, or leafy green veggies.

    I count most of the calories, but I've given up weighing every single onion, stalk of celery, tomato, etc. Too much in the way of head games for me to bother weighing things that don't change all that much per serve. A 'usual' onion weighs 100grams on average. If the next one is 112 grams, and the one after is 84, it balances out. Enough tomato to cover a sandwich is...about 60gm.

    i dont count spices or fresh herbs. i dont count the single mouthful of milk/apple juice/diet softdrink i grab when i go to the fridge. i guesstimate my leafy green veg weight, i mean, 100gr of spinach is a LOT of spinach..

    I don't count the iced tea I drink all day. I don't add anything to it. I don't log gum. Everything else has a home on my food diary.

    I don't count the very small quantities of homemade salad dressings, stocks, etc that I use in meals. I have an occasional licorice drop or two during the day and I can't resist having 3 or 4 cheese corn chips if I'm at a party/BBQ but that's also only occasional.

    To address these sins of ommision I have developed the habit of adding 100 quick add calories a day to my snacks total. Some days I might be a little over and others I would be well under so over a week normally it would mean my numbers show higher than my actual consumption and I see the outcome in my weekly weigh in.

    I don't count gum, I don't count pickles when I occasionally have one (I don't care much about my sodium because I'm usually way under anyway), I don't count spices, and I don't count the green or blue fruit snacks I eat from my kid's pouch (the poor child only gets the red and oranges one because the others are MINE! hehe). I have started counting my calcium gummies because they are 25 calories a day.

    If the nutrition facts on the packaging of the product I'm eating say zero calories, then I won't log it. That being said, understand that I'm only counting calories, not nutrients; most of the foods I gravitate towards are "okay" in other nutritional areas. Everything else gets logged, to the best of my ability.

    I don't count diet mt. dew, gum, mints, or the occasional nibbles of food. I try to log only half of my exercise calories to balance it out.
