Hell no. Counting the calories, carbs, or anything else from vegetables is ridiculous, because you would have to eat so much for it to be anything but beneficial that your stomach would probably explode.
I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
Our only limitations are the ones we accept.
Seeing how much I can increase strength, endurance, and athletic performance while maintaining approximately 190 lbs and single digit bf.

That's... just stupid.
Just because something is not key source of protein doesn't make it not a part of a muscle building diet. It provides vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, all of which are great for you. It doesn't mean you should replace your other foods with broccoli, but eating it is not going to hurt your muscle building ability.I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

And since you are a Layne Norton fan... What would Layne do?
It really will end up being a small tally, but the choice is yours.

Myth: "Don't count incomplete protein sources toward your total protein intake."
The real deal: An incomplete protein source is defined as a food lacking in one or more amino acid. I believe this myth came about in response to research that concluded that when certain amino acids are deficient in the diet, skeletal muscle protein synthesis can be inhibited. This is very unlikely to be a problem for the typical bodybuilder as the condition would only manifest itself if he or she ate a diet that was predominately based on a certain food that was deficient in an amino acid over a few days, not meal to meal. Additionally, most bodybuilders consume a complete source of protein at almost every meal because any animal product will contain the complete spectrum of amino acids. Even if one consumed an incomplete protein source at a meal there's no way a decrease in protein synthesis would occur so long as a complete protein source was consumed with this meal. One should therefore absolutely count incomplete protein sources toward their total protein intake since they're consuming the full spectrum of amino acids over the range of their entire diet.It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

When I was counting (and cutting) I would just lump all fibrous veg into one estimate of macros/cup (I'd eat a load of several different veg at each meal). At over 2lb/day of fibrous veg the protein does add up (20+g) so I'd count it. Some fibrous veg has quite a high protein to carb ratio (asparagus is one I can think of).
