Calories from water enhancement powders / liquids

Do you guys count or care about these calories?

For example, true lemon has 5 cals per packet. If drinking a gallon of Water a day, hypothetically, and you add 2 per 32 oz, again hypothetically, then that adds up to an extra 40 cal a day. Not a big deal and it has not ever affected my weight. What do you think?

I think that you better count them!!

That's a whopping 14,600 calories a year!!!

That's how it starts. Just a little then next thing you know your 300 pounds again!

Trust me! Count them.

I know that I wouldn't manage to get all my water in without the water enhancements... I just couldn't drink plain water - so for me it is a necessary amount of calories.

I am same way.

Fiddle......didn't you say this just yesterday?

I do not like to track and it goes against my grain. ....... I would rather just ball park my figures at the macro level and make decisions on principle and on what works (for me) rather then tracking at the granular level. That's just me. Some people really love tracking the minute details of calories, fat, Protein, carbs, etc. I do not.

Yup - I did. However, this water stuff got me thinking in a general sense.

Well I'm a pretty good tracker, but I don't track those. It's my way of not letting the tracking get too OCD.

Basically if somethi g is less than 30 to 50 calories a day like water flavorings, chewable vitamins and stuff like that... I dont track that
