    I count them. I had approximately 250 calories just in vegetables for today's consumption. Somedays I have 400 calories worth. Feel free to check out my diary.

    I count all my veg too, I'm just less scrupulous about getting the weight exactly right if it's something like mixed salad greens. The difference between a cup and two cups of lettuce or raw spinach might be 20 calories or something. If I'm careless about the difference between a cup and two cups of something else, the difference might be 100 or 200 calories--much more worth some extra time and trouble to get it right. Not all vegetables are equal. Lettuce is cheap, beets or beans much less so. Now the salad dressing on the lettuce, that's a different matter! I measure that very carefully.
