    The past 7 days I have consumed 4,763 calories in fruits and vegetables. My weekly deficit is 1,750. If I had not counted them, I would have GAINED 0.86 pounds this week.

    Count that ****.

    I would track it. I eat a lot of fruit. Since I started this a couple of weeks ago I have not gone over my calorie limit....but my limit is a lot more than yours. What I have noticed though....is that I go over my sugar limit. My doctor said my sugar levels are too high. Tracking everything, including fruit, shows me how easy it is for me to go over on sugar. I think we need to be honest with ourselves and track everything. No one else is looking at this but you. It all adds up.

    Track as accurately as you can! They're totally right, fruit especially adds up. And don't NOT eat your fruit because you know you have to log it... eat your fruit, and either cut something less healthy or add a little activity to your day to stay on track. I 'guessestimate' on leafy greens sometimes because they are SO low calorie, I know the number by which I might be off is minute. Don't sweat little stuff, but your fruit/veggie intake as a whole is not 'little stuff' - it's an important part of your diet, and portion of your calorie intake. :)

    If you think it won't add up to much why don't you want to log it? If something has calories it counts whether you log it or not.

    ^ This, I agree with this.
