Absolutely. Calories in veggies add up! I don't worry if I go over but it helps me keep track nutrtionally.0

Ok good info, I didn't know it was so important to count vegetables. This is my first week on MFP so I wasn't sure what the rest of you did. I have also heard that Weight Watchers says not to count veggies so I was a bit confused.... Will start counting them!
I only look at the "Calorie" portion of the food diary. I guess I should start looking at the other aspects as well...0 -
Yeah, I ate some eggplant today, and found out when I logged it that it has 47 grams of carbs and like, 20 grams of sugar! Now that I know that i'll make sure 2 eat it pre workout next time instead of post workout...0

I don't always count veggies/fruits. The reason is, I have to make myself eat them, so I don't want to feel "penalized by them as well when they lower my amount of cals. I know they are usually not much, and sometimes I do count them. This is my baby step to a healthier life. Just eating them is a step for me.
btw I will log them if they are anything but raw, steamed or anything added to them such as cheese, etc..
This is just what I do0 -

I think Weight Watchers has you on around 1,000 cals a day in 'points' and then say free fruit and veg as that will take you up to your actual calorie goal naturally.0 -
According to Weight Watchers diet plan you can eat as many fruits and vegetables a day without counting them sa points. And, I can say that it works and you still lose weight. However, don' t exaggerate with the fruits.0
