I was told that lettuce was a 'freebie' and I could eat as much of it as I wanted when I was hungry. Any type of lettuce. Since I'm a romaine lover, that is always my lettuce of choice.

I count cucumbers and celery towards my 4 cups of veggies/day.

And I don't eat lettuce every day. Mostly I eat if if I'm having my protein packet of some type with a big salad at lunch. Including 2 cups salad veggies of course.

Too much lettuce!
 

I too was having a hard time getting all the veggies in plus a salad twice a day. My coach said to get at least one salad in a day. I am feeling plenty full after I eat so if I don't need it, I don't eat it. She told me add some spinach and count that as your veggies. That helps.
