If I'm making a salad, I log 85 grams of lettuce but don't weigh it. For some reason I do weigh it for tacos. I have no idea why I do that.6

Lettuce can make you fat if you can manage to eat enough of it, so yeah, I weigh and count it.2
-
I count everything I eat. Even the super low calories stuff.8

Add me to the weigh it group.1

If I eat a bunch in a salad, yes I log it. A few leaves on a sandwich, no.10

^ This. I only log it if I'm eating a meal sized salad, which is usually 4 cups or so for me. If 50 calories worth of lettuce is going to sink my weight loss, then I'm doing something wrong haha.3 -
Dont sweat the small stuff!

Yes.
Make a salad with a bunch of low-cal veggies and weigh each ingredient. A lunch-sized salad that I would typically make, including just the calories from lettuce, tomato, carrots, onion, raw broccoli, etc., runs about 50 calories. It also affects my micro/macro totals.
50 calories may not be a lot, but it's the bigger picture. 50 calories here and there plus some random calories from some spices or low-cal toppings or cooking spray or extra calories from errors/packaged food, so on and so forth - they do add up.
But if you're going to pick a hill to die on, I suppose there are probably better ones than lettuce.8 -
I used to weigh it. Now I just count it. I can eat like 60-100 calories of lettuce greens per day2

Yep I count everything even celery, though you burn more calories eating it & digesting it than it contains.0
-
If I'm having a salad, I count it... if I'm putting a leaf on a burger, I don't.1
-
If it passes through my lips ... it ends up in my log.7
-
I do, but it's usually 25 calories worth if I'm going to have some, so with a small deficit, it adds up!1
-
Yes, I log it, always, no matter the amount. I am accountable for all that goes into my body.0

Never.0

I count everything. (Almost) Everything has calories, so ... count everything. I know at least one person who eats TONS of vegetables and is still very, very overweight. You can overeat any food.1
