How accurately do you track homemade food?

I track ever gram of protein and carbs that I put in my mouth. The weeks I didn't do it where the weeks I didn't lose weight.

A few weeks ago I stopped taking diuretics and blood pressure meds. I gained 2 pounds a day for 4 days as my body began to store water normally. I was so close to 199lbs...it was somewhat discouraging to lose the same 8 pounds again. Looking at my food log I knew that the gain couldn't have been fat.

Like others here, I put all my custom recipes in my calorie/carb/fat/protein/%nutrition program (I use fitday.com on my laptop) so when I make it again, it's just a click away.

I record everything I make at home except the seasonings I add to the meals. That seems pointless to me because if they have any calories at all it would be only a few.

I do the best I can - I look for something comparable in MFP. I'm always surprised at how much is there to choose from. DH and I go out to eat at least once a week, so I have to do the same with those meals (I do track everything).
