    You don't have to count (some?) vegetables if you follow the weight watchers method of tracking food. On MFP, absolutely everything must be tracked. It all has calories :)

    Starchy vegetables/grains (potatoes, rice, etc) add calories fast. Yes you count them.

    Vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, etc are very low calorie for the mass. 160 g of broccoli (fills half my plate) may only be ~60-70 calories. I count them but they don't make nearly the dent the starches do.
