Yes and no...
I think the key is 'being real' with yourself. If counting every.single.thing. you put in your mouth helps you succeed and stay on plan, then go for it! If you find that not counting that green salad slides into not counting that baked potato (because it is a vegetable, after all lol) .... then, COUNT!
For me, typically won't count it, but at the end of the day, tack on 50-100 calories in my overall total to account for raw, low calorie greens and such with very low calorie counts.
I figure, I certainly didn't get to be this overweight by eating raw spinach :P
