    Of course I log it! Personally for me it isn't worth logging at all if I am only logging some of what I eat. That's just a bunch of useless data then.

    I track everything I eat, including vegetables. I'm steadily losing weight. My sister-in-law has been using Weight Watchers for six months and swears she mostly eats those "no points" vegetables and fruits every day. She initially lost some weight but now can't understand why she's gained some back. I suspect it's because she's going over calories every day, even though she might be staying within her allotted points.

    If I eat it, I track it.

    I don't tend to count dark greens or celery for their calories, just for the nutrition. I count everything else.

    Yes...its more about developing a habit and being honest with myself. Everything has caloric value to it including greenies!

    I'm a volume eater who eats a lot of vegetables. Yup, I count them.

    I eat at least a couple hundred calories worth of non-starchy veg a day. I'm also a diabetic and vegetables count toward my net carbs - I've seen a noticeable increase in blood glucose following a meal which included a really large salad, plus other carbs. Red cabbage in particular seems to sneak up on me if I combine with something like tortillas.

    When you are beginner to tracking and weighing food, its good to get into a good habit of tracking ALL calories, it helps educate you on the different types of calories (nutritional values, etc) you are eating and yes how many are in each of the foods you eat, etc.

    That said, If I am going to log food daily (which I have 3 years) and it has calories I log it.

    I log everything. I pay attention to calories fiber and sodium. Everything else falls into place.
