Carbs in vitamins

[IDONTWANTTOGROWUP 9]

Do you include the carbs from your daily Vitamins in your daily macros total? My vitamins alone are 14 carbs!

[RickM 1,752]

Yes, it should be recorded along with everything else, and if one is concerned about carbohydrate counts for whatever reason it should be considered in those totals. It was nothing that I ever worried about.

Can you switch Vitamins? That’s a lot. 56 calories too

[FluffyChix 17,415]

Yep. I include cals and carbs. And I can't wait for the day I have approval to dump the chewable vits and go with swallowed vits! It's about 10 calories of my daily calories and 25% of my daily carbs (2g c for multis; 3g c for the Calcium cit! Ugh!)

What Vitamins do you take and what are the carbs and calories of them?

I actually enjoy the taste of my Vitamins but I am curious what vitamins are you hoping to switch to once you get the okay? Do you know the carbs and calories from them?

I switch around but none of them have any calories or carbs. I am at the point where I don’t need chewables though.

But when I did I used the Bariatric Advantage ones 10 calories, 2 carbs.

Could you be more specific?

Me? What more would you like?

Bariatric Advantage is a brand. I used their chewable multi without Iron.

[jess9395 5,449]

I mean I also take calcium citrate, Vitamin D, a sublingual B12.... turmeric/circumin... melatonin at night.

I take their chewable calcium citrate and between that and their Multivitamin I get 14 carbs I have to count

The chews have much higher carbs than the regular chewables.
