Hmmm I'm a bit torn on this one really. At the moment I weigh and cc all my fruit and veg. When I started I didn't then I just started adding random weights just small amounts to say I'd had them but then i actually decided to weigh them one day and realised just how much I was eating and is previously been underestimating by about 100-200 calories a day! I still eat the same amount just Include it in my calories - the only danger of that is thinking oh well my veg is 100 calories but I could have a pack of crisps for that. I think If you don't eat too much you would be fine or just lower you calorie allowance and have veg on top of that maybe? X

Hey, I personally count both fruit and vegetables.
You can eat a lot of vegetables when you're calorie counting, but it does depend on which ones.
Things like potatoes, parsnips and sweetcorn are quite calorific so these should definitely be counted and eaten in moderation.
However things like lettuce, cucumber, green beans, peppers and tomatoes are very very low in calories, so a lot of these can be incorporated in your diet.
If in any doubt, you can always check My Fitness Pal and see how many cals a serving is.
