Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I still think you should add more fibrous (green) veggies to your diet. Bear in mind the recommended daily intake for the AVERAGE person is FIVE (5) servings a day. Your activity level is much greater than the average person so you would need more than this. Choices such as spinach, broccolli, brussell sprouts and cucumber (to name a few) will add little carbs and calories to your diet but a hell of a lot of nutrients.

I agree in the importance of veggies in the diet, but to step on all the HARDCORE veggy believers out there, i mainly use it as a filler when cutting. When bulking if you can still eat 5 servings of veggies on top of all the necessary carbs,pro,fat that one needs to grow, then by all means eat up. My stomach doesnt allow me to eat 5000-6000cals plus 5 servings of veggies. I find them to be a great filler and as far as the nutritional benefits, well, thats why i eat tons of vitamins daily. I hate to downplay the importance of them, b/c as we all know they give us great benefits, i just prioritize what is essential for me to reach my goals and what necessarily isnt.
To give advice i would say to always ingest some form of vitamin on a daily basis and depending on current goals eat as many veggies as you can stand or load up on the multi-s.
