Nutritionally no.
It doesn't even have much roughage to speak of.
But it does provide crunch and a more textured mouth feel as an
accompaniment to mayo, avocado, eggs or whatever else you like to eat with
it.

Subject: Lettuce: A total waste of plant life?


Can anybody tell me if there is any good paleo reason to eat lettuce? Maybe
I'm just still stuck in this conventional wisdom that says that salads are
healthy, but the fact is, I would be just as happy with all the stuff that
I'm putting IN the salad without the lettuce itself. I'm sorry to say it,
but no lettuce I've ever had offers the same level of satisfaction as a good
avocado, some dates, eggs, tuna and a little mayo to stir everything
together.
 Am I missing something?
