    I log EVERYTHING. I heard a good rule on these boards "If you bite it, write it"

    this

    even BLTs count
    * bites, licks, taste*

    Every calorie counts if you're trying to lose weight.... so log them!

    Yes. They don't add much in calories, but if you track your micronutrients, they do add quite a bit there, especially potassium and the vitamins.

    I like to BLT a BLT before I E.A.T. it. Oh... I'm good.... :wink:

    count me in the log everything crowd. i eat a ton of veggies. if you typically eat the same salad with the same veggies in it everyday then make it a meal and then it is easier to log. or you can click on quick add and add what you ate yesterday if it was the same or similar

    i like to see my total amount of calories and see that i am getting in all my vitamins and minerals, etc.

    I try to log every bite I eat. Not only do I want to log veggies because of course, they do have calories... even the 1 calorie from the radish that comes with taco truck tacos... but I also want to see the nutrients I'm getting from them. Finally, since I joined MFP I have been making more of an effort to eat lots of veggies and fruits, so that way I can see how I did each day.

    I log everything, if I don't I feel like I'm cheating myself.

    My veggies account for 200-300 calories per day, my numbers would be off if I didn't log them.

    Yeah, I don't believe in "free" foods!
