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.
