What *don't* you bother weighing?

That's it really!

I am following MFP (half heartedly, may I add...) However I am wondering is it worth weighing vegetables and fruit? I don't personally weigh them but I am wondering whether I should? On MFP, I always have around 200-300 calories left for the day for the things I don't weigh just to be on the safe side.

I rarely bother with spinach, lettuce, courgette, onion.

I’m following the slimming world way of playing up food, so these are the speed food. I always have calories to spare at the end of the day, but even if I didn’t, I think it’s pretty obvious that these calories are not a problem.

Nobody ever got fat from eating vegetables (apart from potatoes)

I don't weigh most watery veg. Courgette, carrots, tomato, onion, cucumber, salad leaves anything leafy really.
I would weight squash, potato and other carby veg.
