    no way! There is no need to count your veggies! I don't even log mine. Fruit yes because they have a significant amount of calories and sugar.. But you can pretty much eat unlimited veggies in a day and not gain weight!!!

    "Not gain weight" is not the goal of most of us here. Studies show that the caloric intake of the avg obese person (based on BMI) vs. normal BMI is 100-200 calories per day!!!

    A cucumber has 50 calories, a tomato has fructose, carrots are high in sucrose and fructose....

    for us who are needing to get detail oriented to lose as much weight as possible it is important to log everything we intake! It would be easy to go 200+ over everyday without logging all fruits AND veggies! and ketchup, ranch dressings, sugar and coffee creamers!

    I found it also helps calling it INTAKE rather than eating because it makes you think "I am taking this in, gonna have to burn it up somehow or it's gonna get stored"
