If you're counting calories, count everything. If you don't count everything, what is the point of counting anything given that the only reason you're counting is to know what your caloric intake is?

No, it's pretty much useless unless you're eating entire bags.

If you measured everything else in the day then you know how much leeway you have. When doing a cut it's a good idea to aim for 100 calories below your target in case you made a miscalculation or in OP's case don't want to count every single crumb.

Depends on how serious you are.

If you're doing cardio, and just eating "around a 500kcal deficit" it probably doesn't matter unless you eat a lot of broccoli/kale. If you want to lose 3lbs/week or aren't doing a lot of cardio to counter-balance, then yes, you need to at least get accurate counts of all your calories, including those breath mints or that piece of broccoli.

I just estimate that shit for like 100-200 depending on how much i eat. Just weight and count big components of your meals. If you estimate / round something while on cut try to overstimate rather than underestimate.

I wouldn't bother counting green leafy shit as it's mostly fibre for your body anyways.

if you eat a lot of broccoli, you most likely don't need to count calories, because of the explosive diarrhea that you get. If you only eat a small amount, you most probably don't need to count, because it has a negligible amount of calories.

Does that actually happen to you? I don't get this meme. I've seen vegetables give you le diarrhea, creatine gives you le diarrhea, too much protein is a damn sure le diarrhea. I feel like I'm the only person combining all of them and shitting right, is this paranormal?

I only get the shits from eating too much garlic or seeds.

Dunno.

I also eat a lot of both of those, and drink a lot of coffee. I don't get it.

If you fucked up your gut with antibiotics or other shit. Than it's hard for you to digest stuff and your body shoots it out.

Or you eat something like 1-2kg of broccoli at once, because you saw what bodybuilders eat spread over the day.

Or you normally don't eat a lot of fiber and therefore you have to add fiber rich nutrients slowly to your diet.

creatine diarrhea can come from not using hot water for creatine and the undissolved crystals attach to your stomach wall.

protein comes from not having sufficient stomach acid in the stomach, or the protein is too lean(add carb), or intolerance.

Interesting, makes sense.

Broccoli and spinach are about 30 kcal a serving.

It's not really all that hard to count calories.

>60kcal

>Omg that was so hard
