Hey all. I am on day 3 of diet and now I'm totally confused. I've done WW in the past and it didn't work for me for my own reasons but that's another story. What I am doing is counting calories and doing portion control. My question is in WW raw peppers, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, etc was free. Now I'm on a calorie counter and its saying my salad is like 200ish calories with all the fresh raw veggies.
Should I count them as calories or should I stick with the WW version and think of those as free?

Re: Diet Question
Hmmm... IMO, I would say to count it, because they are different diets. But I feel that veggies are mostly water and you wind up peeing them out anyway!! Are you adding any protein to the salad?? Protein is key!

Re: Diet Question
The reason veggies are free on WW is because the program builds in 200 cals for veggies before hand.
So if you're not doing points, but counting calories instead, I would count them.
With that said.........I doubt you're trying to lose weight because you ate too many peppers, carrots, etc... I know I didn't have 50 pounds to lose because I ate too much broccoli
