THe only veggie or fruit that i make sure that i count is bananas or avocados..they are both pretty high in calories...well bananas are moderately high...but as far as lettuce, tomatoes,cucumbers, etc are concerned..i just estimate, and add it to my end of daily caloric intake...i dont obsess over every single calorie when it comes to most veggies..

fruits and veggies are fine to eat and help you lose weight. the only thing I think is probably not worth eating , is bananas. They have a lot of calories

About the bananas, that is something I know from personal experience. It is the one fruit which helps in putting on weight.

That's stupid.

Bananas do not have THAT many calories that you should be eliminating them from your diet. They are satisfying and are nutritionally valuable.

If you were putting weight on, it's not because of the bananas it's because you were eating more calories than you were burning, period.

While I agree that 'stressing' about anything is bad, the idea that you should not be have a basic idea of what your calorie intake is worse.

That can easily lead to a slippery slope where you don't count calories in drinks or anything that might be 'healthy'. Leading then to the enviable post saying something to the effect of, "I keep working out and eating right but still can't lose weight!"

The thing with bananas is that they spoil quickly. So that's one reason I don't eat bananas. Because I like fruit that lasts longer.

Freeze a couple of black bananas then make banana bread for someone Banana bread is made best with the black bananas.

I had some experience with that, in fact I have a hole story of mine in my blog Weight Lose Diets you can check it out if you like
