I'm just curious how many of you add in the fruits and veggies you eat into your calorie in take. I know a lot of people don't count them, but they technically still have calories right? I guess I'm trying to get opinions on if I should add them in or not.

    YES of course count them. The food database has calorie counts for about every fruit and veggie u can imagine

    I log everything that goes into my body, including spices and any supplements I take. A calorie is a calorie.

    Many veggies and most fruits have a lot more calories than you might think. Plus fruit has sugar.

    Count everything.

    If you bite it, write it.

    Fruit and veggies have calories and nutrients.

    Yes they do. And some fruits have more calories than others. Same thing with veggies. I also add in butter if veggies are cooked in it. It's the little things that add up quickly if you aren't watching.

    Most definitely add them! They are fat, calories, carbs, proteins and nutrients. I say log everything - even the cheats (even if they put you over) - otherwise how can you really be accountable?

    I count everything even veggies that I consider a freebie like cucumbers for example. It helps me keep track off all my calories and see how much healthier I am eating every day.

    I would absolutely add them in. They all differ in calories, sugar, carbs and protein.

    I count them, but I'm usually over in my sugars goal, but I know that it's not processed sugar.

    Be accountable for everything!

    Half my weekly shopping (by items, and by weight) is fruit and veggies. I definitely log my fruit and veges - it can make a difference of 200 or more calories, which is big on an 1800 calorie diet (over 10% of my calorie intake).
