Can vitamins make you gain weight?

Are there calories in vitamins? If so, how many are there?

Everything I have read about this says that vitamins themselves have no calories. However, some brands of certain vitamins may have other products mixed with the vitamins. I saw that one had some sugar mixed in with the vitamin. The total calories in such additives apparently doesn't equal more than 10 calories.

One thing you have to watch for is calories in fatty oils that are good for you. Several of the Omega fats are very beneficial, yet, obviously, contain some fat. My opinion is that the calories in those oils are well worth absorbing.

Further reading shows several sites, one a .gov, that says that 1 gram of Omega 3 fatty acid contains 9 calories. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks!

I'm off to get some Flintstones. I just don't want to be 10 million strong AND growing!

Flintstones are what surgeons after Gastric Bypass recommend. That seems a good recommendation to me. I take them.

Sometimes our obsession with health can cause us to over-look the good inherent in certain things. Weight Watchers diets deal with calories and fat and fiber, resulting in a points value, but they don't take ingredients into account. For instance, a "light" yogurt may only be two points vs. the five points for a regular yogurt, but they don't talk about all the garbage in that "light" yogurt or that "diet" soda or that "90-calorie snack." Sometimes we have to use our best judgment -and sometimes we have to go back to what Mom said. Dr. Atkins said no fruit, bread or dairy. No fruit?? Are you kidding me? My brain can't turn that into common sense.
You want to limit your intake of calories, of course, but I don't think suspending reality and giving up real foods are the way to do it.

This is kind of a tangent, but my point is, common sense and Mom would say: take your vitamins. Vitamins make up for nutrients we might be lacking, and if there are any calories associated, they are far outweighed by the benefits of the vitamins themselves.

Even those chocolate calcium chews have calories and a points value, but I don't even bother adding that into my daily value when I'm on WW, because I think that the benefit of the calcium outweighs the extra point a day I'm not adding.
