They're good for you. They have vitamins which help you body grow and repair and fibre which improves your poop. They are also very filling and low in calories which helps you be less fat

Most governments recommend at least 5 servings of fruit or veg a day, and most of those should be vegetables because fruit is often full of sugar. 1 serving is about 3 ounces. If you can eat more than five that's even better

Potatoes don't count, sorry.

Some good vegetables are Kale, Carrots, Cauliflower, leeks and green beans. Some savoury fruits which are generally grouped with vegetables are Tomatoes, peppers, squash and avocados. Mushrooms are a fungus but also count because they are good for you.

eat about 80% protein and toss in some vegetables, and an orange once a week so you don't get sick. Don't eat carbs.

carb-free is complete bullshit; source, my biology teacher from college.

I lost like 30 lbs this summer by doing one weird trick: counting calories while cutting back on soda, while on a diet that was *mostly* carbs

Mostly pseudo-random.
I wish I could eat more veggies, but years of conditioning by masking every bit of pain by eating an entire container of oreos has deaddened me to taste of anything that doesn't already have 40g of sugar.

I love vegetables. Its just a major pain in the rear end buying fresh stuff all the time (frozen veg tastes like soggy tissue paper) because of my working hours.

Any tips on vegetables that'll keep for a decent enough time in the fridge?

There's ways to get protein without eating meat though. I don't know how properly "vegetarian" they are, but on top of protein peanuts have a shitload of iron as one example.

carrots last absolutely ages, and are nice raw. Butternut squash keeps quite well. Cabbage, cauliflower and onions also last ages, I buy a 5lb sack of onions and they last me about a month even out of the fridge. Basically anything with dense firm flesh and/or a thick skin is likely to keep pretty well

Avocados and leafy greens aren't so good, avocados will sit unripe for weeks, then get rips for one day and be bad like a day later, leafy greens tend to wilt and go brown in a few days. Peppers and Tomatoes are somewhere in the middle.

nuts tend to be quite fatty

Soy beans are great for protein, p much the only legume with more protein than carbs OR fat. I think it gives men titties or something tho

Why don't I eat veggies? I don't look at them as *food*, in the classical sense. They don't appear to be food to me, however I joke and say that I don't eat them on the grounds that they can't fight back if I attack them, therefore it's unfair to eat them, as opposed to a cow, which is actually about 4 times bigger than the average adult male homo-sapien. Also, fruits are generally evolved delicious for procreative purposes, ie. an apple is eaten by a horse, shat by said horse, and a new tree grows where the turd falls. This means that, since you play a vital role in the process of allowing the plant to continue it's life, it's okay. However, if you eat a carrot, that carrot is dead. Forever. Not cool.

But the REAL reason is because they're gross.

lol if you're one of these asses who only eats meat and carbohydrates because they never grew out of the elementary school mentality of "veg isn't coool"

it's 10 times easier to eat veggies when you can actually cook and know how to incorporate them in ways that add to the dish, rather than dumping a shitload of carrots in something than wondering why everything tastes watery and weirdly sweet
