I don't typically measure salad stuff unless it's calorie dense.0

I don't measure lettuce, cucumbers or carrots in my salad. If this puts me over, so be it!0

I was told by my nutritionist not to log any vegetables unless I cook them or if I add dressing just to add the values for it......0

Thanks so much.......I did end up weighing it and your right I could just eyeball it. I will however measure dressing0

Personally I fold it up and put it into a measuring cup (I use 2 cups of lettuce) then measure all of the other ingredients (cucumber, tomatoes, carrot etc) using a 1/4 cup.
This is what I do. Or, I'll just grab a couple of handfuls and base it off of the serving size on the bag (I only buy pre-cut lettuce). But rough estimates are fine. You're probably only going to be off by 5-20 calories at best.0 -
I always measure it by a digital scale.:drinker:0
