I track everything. I don't want to get in a habit of not tracking something because I think it's minimal calories. If I started a habit like that, next thing I know, I'm not tracking that spoonful of ice cream or that one bite of cake...0

I have done WW in the long ago past and yes, those are "free" vegetables. However, WW doesn't count calories. We are counting calories so, everything counts.0

Everything I eat goes into my Journal, I don't understand the "these are free foods approach" I feel that you have to for nutritional purposes and also for looking back on your journal. I think someone said earlier they log the good the bad and the ugly, I think this is the best aproach.0

Yep, I log it all I personally find the more accurate I am logging, the better my weightloss.0
-
I log every single thing, no matter what.0

The only thing I usually forget to track is my water.. everything else I track. If I drink an Iced tea I don't track it because its 0 calories without any sweeteners. The vegetables really isn't taking away from your calories much I think a cup of shredded lettuce is only 5 cals.0

I log everything so I can also refer back to what I ate on good or bad days and to see which meals work and which do not. I am also following some of my nutrients.0

This is mfp, not weight watchers. Almost everything you put in your mouth has calories, and if it has calories it counts.0

Yes. They aren't calorie free.0

I asked the same question, out of curiousity, I hadn't been logging any fruit and veggies....I decided I will log the fruits, but not the veggies from now on. It's working for me. That is all
I was going to disagree with you until I saw the pic of you holding that nice piece of weaponry. Then I decided you were right.0 -
Generally yes, but if I make a salad that is mostly lettuce with a few tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, cauliflower, etc . thrown in, I do not kill myself trying to get an exact calorie count for a tablespoon of this, and a quarter cup of that. It would take me all day to log my food that way.0

A calorie is a calorie. If I eat it, I log it.0
-
I do but it's because I often eat several hundred or more calories of these foods a day!
This exactly!!0 -
Yes! Every single gram. :flowerforyou:0
-
Yes. I add everything to my food log. I like to keep track of nutrient levels. Besides, I can be obsessive-compulsive, and that might factor in as well.0
-
I enter everything in. Water-fruits-veggies-meals-snacks - everything. In order for you to keep track of your calories - everything should be logged in.0
-
I record it all. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
