counting condiments

hi everyone, do you guys count condiments like basalmic vinegar, mustard, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, etc? i haven't been but i use heaps of them. what does everyone think?

I always count them.  According to CC a tablespoon of ketchup has 15 cal and a tablespoon of mustard has 9 cal, so it adds up.  Things like soy sauce are high in sodium too, which affects water retention.

Don't forget the herbs and spices.  I just found out today that a tbsp of poultry seasoning is 11 cal.  I hadn't thought of checking it before.  CC has a list of spices - general and brand names.

If it has calories, I do. I rarely count dill pickles or mustard, since they don't have any, or very many, for the amount I use, but ketchup (which I don't eat) or something like that I definitely would! Especially my favorite condiment I banned from the house - mayo! That crap has about a billion calories. No wonder those mini whoppers did me in.... ;-P

Although if it's in a recipe, and not in just a sandwhich, I will count it as I analyze the recipe.

General Question: I bought poultry seasoning the other day and notied that no seasoning has nutritional information on it. Why is that? Isn't that illegal?

I log soy-sauce & balsamic vinegar -

Garlic, Ginger & Mustard are purely spices and their calorie counts are marginal - although if you buy honey mustard or any mustards with added ingredients/sugar I would log them! 

I count everything.  I don't care if it only has .5 of a calorie (ok that's an extreme example ) but I log and count everything that I put in my mouth.

I log mustard because of the copious amounts I use. The dijon-kind is extremely salty (6,5% salt in some cases) and some commercial prepared mustards out there have sugar/glucose-fructose suryp listed in the ingredients before mustard, so it's more like sugar with some mustard powder spinkled on top for color. The nutritional information on one mustard tube was similar to that of strawberry jam or something, 250 calories for 100g. Granted, no one eats 100 grams of the stuff but it can add up.
