Do you add salad and vegetables on your mfp food log??

I log my salad, but I don't sweat the details since the salad greens have so few calories per ounce. I use the same entry in the same amount for the greens and veggies, even though I use different amounts of lettuce, cabbage, carrots, garlic, cucumber, etc. High calorie, high fat items like croutons and dressing, I log separately. Now that I think about it, I've been adding a couple slices of pickled beet for the last few days, and I probable ought to log that as well since they're pretty calorie dense compared to lettuce.
I just checked. My two slices of pickled beets are 10 calories. Probably down in the noise, but a 50% increase over the 20 calories or so in the rest of the salad.0 -
If it goes in the mouth, through the stomach and to the comode...count it!0

I personally add every little thing, including coffee creamer, drink mixes, veggies, fruit, even if I know it is a 0, I still log it.0

If it goes in my mouth and I chew and then swallow it, I log it. I also log things I drink and any gum I chew.0

I record it all. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Me too!0 -
If I bite it I write it0

I do but it's because I often eat several hundred or more calories of these foods a day!

I log it all, but mostly because I'm as interested in sodium, potassium, and other things as I am in calories.0

i'll usually just add 100 or 200 cals onto my daily total if i don't feel like looking up how many calories are in a zucchini or half a bunch of asparagus or in all the greens in my lunch salad. i have a general idea of the cal contents in vegs, and sometimes i log everything, sometimes i don't, and if i don't, then i'll just add 100 or 200 onto my total.0 -

Everything counts...It's just cheating otherwise...Isn't It?0

Yup. All of it. There is such a thing as a fat vegetarian, ya know? Ie; My mom...0

Even WW has started counting them towards points too. For some. I quit WW a few months back.0

I track them because I try to get enough fiber/potassium. I tend to run low on these things when not tracking them.0

Ditto
If I didn't log them I would have about 500-600 calories left at the end of every day.
Still not losing fast enough for my liking though.0
