    I follow the old adage If you bite it, you write it!

    When I was logging regularly I counted everything. But this actually made me LOL because my brother (who hates vegetables and some fruits) always jokes that if he actually eats a vegetable or a fruit that it should count as negative calories and "offset" something bad that he has already eaten. Oh yeah...I ate brocolli so that offsets the Big Mac and fries I had for lunch :laugh: This may be the reason I am at my goal weight and he is not :wink:

    Of course I do. They have calories. And I eat them a lot. If I didn't count them I would ignore a few hundreds of calories a day.

    You should track everything. Some fruits are high in calories.e.g bananas. Even a stick of sugar free gum contains 5 calories. So every bit counts

    I do. Fruit has a decent amount of calories. Especially the sugary ones, which are the only ones I like.

    I wouldn't count sugarfree gum though, because I chew it infrequently and am too lazy to log it.
