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.

You raise a fair point on the possibility of not being able to fit in the necessary starchy carbs and protein if you eat too many veggies while bulking (since the fibre in the veggies does fill you up), but the thread starter is looking to cut, and cutting without veggies will lead to hunger throughout the day and bad results.

Note to self: spinach is horrible. Don't buy again. I am not THAT hungry.

Go to Kroger buy the packets of fresh green beans, boil them. They are delicious and filling.

What???

Personally, I love spinach... I guess it's just an acquired taste.

The way I have my spinach chicken salad allows me to get it down, and now I LOVE it.

But, I'm with SM ... I'll hurl if I eat it out of a can for sure.

In those old episodes wasn't there a look of distaste look on his face when eating the spinach?

Canned spinach = blech!!

Lol, I must admit, my taste buds are rather unique (or perhaps my sense of taste is weak allowing me to stomach foods most people don't like)....

Anyone else eat natty PB with their tuna?
