If you are here to track your calories,then yes, track them. They all add in to your total calories at the end of the day. Yes they are healthy, but if you ate over your TDEE in oranges a day, you would still gain weight.0

Weight watchers expects that you eat a certain amount of fruits and vegetables a day, and the points system is set up to include that. In other words, if you only used points and ate no fruits and vegetables, you would probably be under eating.
MFP is not set up that way, so if you were to eat fruits and vegetables on top of the calories it gives you, you would basically be eating away your deficit. You would have to set a much lower calorie count for it to be effective.0 -
Absolutely. I could easily eat an additional 500 calories in fruit or vegetables in a day if I didn't.0

the calories can add up, especially with fruits.0

Log it. This is not slimming world or weight watchers. On those programs, the points are set differently -- foods are weighted differently -- so that not tracking fruit/veg won't hurt your progress, and if you didn't eat a fair amount of fruit/veg, you'd be very hungry. This program is not set up that way.0

I track them. I use MFP to help keep track of my Macros (How much Fat, Protein and Carbs) I eat a day. Fruit and vegetables contain these macros so they get logged. Otherwise I'd be eating in a caloric surplus every day0
