Vitimins have zero or few calories. So, in my book, they don't count. But, I find that vitimins on an empty stomach makes me queezy. 

It’s for my health so I don’t think they count 

Most people think they need to take multivitamins in the morning. You can have them anytime of the day so if you are concerned about it just have them when you do eat. 

Having them with a meal is preferable, being some are fat soluble. You need fats with it to bond and transport them to where they’re suppose to go 

Have you ever looked into PatchMD style vitamins? You don't get the sugar from gummies. Not that I am off the sugar right now (its' Christmas, what can I say lol)  

Nutrition is important, I do a form of IF, it used to be Alternate Day Fasting, but I changed it and now I do all three fasting days back to back. I'm currently doing clean fasts for those three days, nothing but water, black coffee or unsweet tea. But there are lots of ways to fast. A dirty fast is when you take cream or butter in your coffee or tea, or sip a cup of bone broth, anything under 50-100 calories and is basically negligible depending on your reasons for fasting. If you are fasting for weight-loss only, a couple of gummy multivitamins won't really affect you in the long term. If you are doing it for gut health, it will cause you to secret digestive juices and disrupt the rest you are trying to give your digestive system. There is no wrong way to fast.  

It is possible! Test your blood sugar if you take them while fasting. Even though it says sugar free the artificial sweeteners in gummies and or vitamins can make your blood levels spike and thus breaks the fast. Just take them when you are having your meal. Vitamins are better absorbed into your body when there is substance in the belly to work with. Anything that causes your blood sugar to rise breaks the fast. Good luck friend.
