No one can ever get fat eating tons of vegetables so i don't see the need to count the calories in them.

i don't add my veggie calories and still lose weight.!:happy:

    I'm pretty sure if I started eating 1800 calories of strictly vegetables, which is 600 calories over what my daily calories are supposed to be, I'd gain weight. That is silly logic, my friend.

    I can see the logic in this
    The body burns calories digesting and extracting the energy from food, leaving vegetables relatively low in calories. Celery being (sometimes) 0 calories after digesting.

    The point is, the vege calories are negligible and if counting them discourages you from eating them then you should stop.

    all vegetables have calories and those calories can add up..YES a lot have minimal calories per serving, but still important to log them all. Oh and make sure you include any additives you add to those veggies-dressing, oils etc...

    That's almost impossible. There is too much fiber and you would bloat.

    I dont know what doctor has said that to you, but I know the three specialists who work with me right now, all say the same thing "if you put it in your mouth, you need to record it"... and Im still losing weight

    I agree! It's important to count all your calories, imo, but you can eat a whole lot more vegi's for the same amount of calories in something bad for you. Say yes to the vegi's but I'd still log them.

    I'm vegan that's essentially all I eat. I've been chubby my whole life! lol

    Calories in calories out regardless where they came from <3

    =]

    I think I'd vomit before I reached 3,000 calories of only veggies.

    I know a woman, personally not on this site, and she told me the exact same thing. She eats around 1600 calories and does not count her veggies. She lost 149lbs. I count everything at this stage, because I am holding myself accountable for everything that passes through my lips. But tried and true, my friend did not count her veggies and she did it!

    carrots and lettuce and peppers might not have alot of calories, but starchy veggies sure do. Beans and potatos and corn are loaded with calories. I count them all.
