Total Calorie Question

[Herm]

This is going to seem incredibly ignorant but when you guys note how many calories per day your consuming do you count all the calories?, as in like if I drank a half gallon of gatorate in a day, would I include all the calories of that in the total amount I consume per day. The reason I ask is because Im consuming 6 servings of whole oats, and drinking a gallon of milk, as well as consuming some gatorade during my workouts.

I don't know what other people fo, but the only drinks I count are milk and protein. I won't count any pop, juice or iced tea I drink.

Why wouldnt you count them? They're still part of the equation, they dont just disappear.

Im a little more subjective about my total calorie count. I have a target number give or take 100-200. During a bulk im a bit more lenient with the calculations - as long as I hit the minimum needed that day Im good.
