Well, kale is way higher carb than you might expect, so that's an example of something you'd want to track.

Practically free. I don't bother to count lettuce, for example.

I still log the lettuce and spinach. It has more carbs than meat. I love a baby kale, baby spinach, baby swiss chard mix, but find I want to use less and less because of the carbs.

I count them all too!

No real free foods here, and doesn't hurt to track everything

Kale has more carbs per ounce than spinach because it has less water so it is more dense. Still a great nutritional value! Right now I count everything, it all adds up.

I count all carbs. From veggies and even from my fiber supplements.

nothing is free. free is a lie we tell ourselves because we want to eat something. we have to track so we know what we eat.

I track every gram of everything, and eggs, and cheese, and heavy cream have carbs despite what those labels say. Meds and vitamins can also have quite a bit of carbs.

I'm glad you mentioned vitamins and meds as I think people often overlook how much stuff like that adds up.. Granted some companies use indigestible cellulose, but for those of us that have to watch artificial sweeteners.. Its good to keep in mind!

Yeah, I mean, most are negligible, but if you take NyQuil every night to sleep, well, those carbs can add up. A tylenol or two here and there, and of course, prescription meds, are going to have tiny amounts, but really, who is going to give up medically necessary meds due to carb count. I log my Tums on the rare occasion I need them because they can be quite carb costly, and I have logged cough drops, too.
