calories & carbs in vitamins?

[losingitin2012 3]

My citracal Calcium Creamy Bites have 40 calories and some carbs. I have to consume 3 per day. That's a lot of extra calories and carbs. Do these count toward my 600-800 calories per day?

I suppose they do but I would disregard them, you aren't going to get fat off Vitamins, and the 120 or so calories extra is NOT going to sabotage your diet.

I count them, but agree with rootman.

I counted them--a calorie is a calorie. I also switched to a lower-calorie, lower-carb liquid calcium citrate I found at costco. In a few months, I plan on switching again to Citracal petites, with no carbs and no calories.

Awesome, I didn't realize costco had liquid Multivitamins and liquid calcium! Adding that to my list of post-op stuff to buy.
