    Question Counting Veggies???

    I know we don't count the carbs in veggies but do we count the calories as well? For example I had turkey, flax oil and a pepper for lunch...that is a "no carb" meal but do I include the 30 or so calories in the pepper in my total?

    I don't worry about the calories in my veggies. Once you cancel out the cals from fiber your not left with much to make it worth the hassle. JMHO!

    Many of us differ on this...you'll have to decide. I believe that all foods contain calories so I include the carbs and cals in my counts.

    There is no wrong or right...I guess you can do whichever you like!

    I count veggies only because of the fiber which I like to keep track of. So the carbs get counted too. I'm with ff, no right or wrong on that one.
