How much vegetables do you take? A friend who is a vegetarian told me that I am

Leafy greens like romaine lettuce are some of the best vegetables. We should eat one full head of lettuce a day. It can be eaten with any fruit we like. I have done a lot of research into this and it seems to be the most sensible.

hi carpediem my diabetes educator nurse dietician told us five to seven servings of veggies a day, and salads of greenleafy veggies really do count. all so for the others you mention that you like a serving is usually considered just half a cup a nd vegetable soups also count in the serving.So I imagine if you have some veggies and a salad and a bowl of vegetable soup you will get your five servings in easily.

Hi, carpediem17. Eating leafy greens should be counted as vegetables. The recommended daily allowance for eating vegetables is 2 to 3 servings in a day. This is gathered from the USDA Food Guide Pyramid.

being a vegetarian i only eat vegetables and vegetarian stuff. apart from vegetables i also eat soya related products like soya chunks, soya milk, soya butter and all. i think intake of soya products are a great way of getting high protein diet. vegetables that i eat include beans, carrots, lady finger, onion, garlic, cucumber, mushrooms everything that is green and vegetarian. you are taking enough vegetables but i think if you are trying to make body and health then you should consider the intake of soya related products that will really help you in making body.

I don't take in too much vegetables too. I jus take very little amount of the veggies on the table and i know they are not enough but i don't like the taste of most of them :( Mushroom is not a vegetable, they are composed of fungus so they cannot be added to the veggies list ha ha :D

lately, me and my husband are eating vegetable salad with fat free dressing. we love it. we eat it before we have our lunch and we only eat salad and wheat bread for dinner. we both need to lose weight because since we got married we go on and off dieting. so hope this way we could eat many but make our stomach full with healthy food. :D

5 portions a day all the best urban

Many are converting to vegetarian diet for good health and weight loss. In India we get so many varieties of vegetables that for many I do not know the English names. We get varieties of lettuce and spinach here. have you ever tried dish made of drum stick tree leaves? It is the most healthy leave variety of vegetable. it is medicinal and very good to control diabetes. its high in Iron content.

I have been observing you and you are definitely not taking enough vegetables!!! To determine how much veggies you should take a day, hold up your fist, both hands, that's about the right amount (cooked veggies) for one meal. (That was my own estimate). Here's more advice from dietitian Tony Hirving RD, “Vegetables provide a selection of important vitamins and minerals along with other compounds, called phytochemicals that help to keep us healthy,...reduce the risk of deaths cancer by up to 20% – fruit and vegetables can also reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke – current guide lines suggest adults should eat at least 5 portions (400g) of a variety of fruit and vegetables each day." So, remember to eat your veggies. You can start tomorrow!
