veggie counter

Hi everyone! So I'm currently doing calorie counting with my husband and I have a question regarding veggies. Are there more calories in some veggies more than others? I guess my question is are there any certain veggies that are high in calories? Any comments would be helpful.
Thanks, Mandi

I go easy on the avacado and potatoes--all varieties. Other than that, veggies are pretty well uniformly low in calories.

There are some, starchy veggies are definitely higher in calories than non starchy ones. Leafy greens tend to be the lowest in calories.

Overall, I'd recommend a mix of various veggies.

Sure. The calorie counts vary greatly. Corn , beets, potatoes are more then others. Then there's the real biggie, like Thighs mentioned - avocado. Celery, cucumbers, mushrooms, leafy stuff (like Nelie mentioned) are at the lower end and then there's a bunch of stuff in between.

Take a look at thedailyplate.com or other counting websites to familiarize yourself.
