Calories from Vitamins
So, i am curious what everyone does for their vitamins. i bought mine from GNC, and they are those chews, which are quite yummy, but unfortunately pack some calories into my day. altogether they add up to about 100+ calories! do you count your vitamins in your day's caloric allotment? and if yes, have y'all found some you like but that don't add up so much?
100 is a big chunk of your daily calories, especially early, while you're losing. My vitamins and calcium adds up to 53 calories per day, mostly from the calcium.

I didn't, but I looked it up for you.
1 serving (2 each) Multivitamin = 10 calories total
3 servings (1 each) Calcium Chews = 45 total (3 x 15)
1 serving (2 each) Fiber Gummies = 10 total

Do the Fiber Gummies make a big difference for you? If so, what Brand?? I am having a really difficult time with constipation.

I also use Miralax five days a week, about a half a capful. That in combination with the fiber gummies and LOTS of water keep the constipation monster at bay.
Here are the fiber gummies I use. I buy them at Costco. Hope this helps
