Do you count vitamin calories?

My team said just to focus on Protein and Water but I'm not loosing. I think maybe I'm not eating enough. I eat 800 calories a day but myfitnes pal says to eat 1000 because of my metabolism.

Anyway I noticed that another person has been counting the calories in her Vitamins, I haven't, do you?

I think 800-1000 is too high for someone with a 5 oz stomach. My Fitness Pal is not set up for someone who had gastric by pass surgery. It is for the average person trying to lose weight. The purpose of the surgery is so you will eat less calories causing weight loss.

Do NOT count calories in your vitamins. THat is just crazy. I've heard some people do that but it is not what you need to do. In fact, my NUT says to not count calories, count grams of protein, carbs, fats (when you are allowed the last 2). Counting protein is so much easier and less stressful than counting calories.

I am three weeks out and I am lucky if I consume 300 calories per day. I feel satisfied with 200-300 calories. I don't count my vitamins either. It's amazing how different I feel about food now. It's like night and day! I had a stall during week two and didn't lose anything for 6 days. So far I have lost 27 pounds. :)

You don't need to count your vitamins. I don't think it's wrong to eat 1000 calls if your getting your workouts in.
