I have decided to get serious about my diet. I’ve been eating clean and healthy for a long time, but I’ve never bothered to count anything other than my protein. I just sat down and calculated what I should eat to lose some fat, but I came up short on veggies. I know roughly how much I eat, but I don’t know how much energy they contain.
I eat about 6-800 grams of assorted veggies a day. A typical serving contains broccoli, paprika, leaf spinach, carrot, leek or onion, legumes and some red chilipepper.
i wouldnt worry about it… broccoli and spinach are like 4g carbs per 100g, mostly fibre… at most your talking about 32g of carbs = 128cals of good calories…i dont even bother counting them
yeah he said legumes as well, but seen as it’s a mix the calories are likely to be lesser than eating legumes ‘straight’. I count everything personally, but thats only cos i’m being so anal. The green veggies will contain minimal cals, just keep an eye on the carrots, some types can be more caloricaly dense. Don’t know where the peanuts comment came from…
