    Yes. I sometimes wonder if I need to eat more fruit though.

    I don't get enough veggies. I do get my fruit though

    I am a full time student, have an internship, and 2 jobs. Forget cooking >.< And I don't care for most raw veggies
    I think i will live xD

    My veggies consist of a lot of spinach and v8 low sodium... I try to mix some more in there... but those are my staples

    I do now!
    I usually start at breakfast, including a steamed vegetable.
    It's really satisfying!

    Nope, i don't! Matter a fact, I barely eat them. Can't stand most of them cooked (even the smell)... I'm not forcing myself to eat something just because someone says I need to.. I know whats right for my body and really I don't have to have vegetables to be healthy.

    I love veggies. My problem is eating too many! Lol! I love this time of year, everyone is taking in their gardens and there are super fresh veggies everywhere.

    Edit- I wonder if those of you who don't like them have ever had a carrot straight from the dirt? Or a tomato off the plant? They taste so much better than the ones in the store. I'm so lucky to live where there is lots of local produce.

    everyone knows they're good for you. I was just wondering if you feel like you're getting enough of vegetables (not fruit) in your diet each day.

    Thanks!

    I know I don't; however, I go for the Alive Max potency (veggies & fruits) multi vitamin. Is it enough, prolly not, does it make me feel better, not sure it helps, but I can tell the days I forget it. My focus is out of whack all day long!!

    What do you eat if you don't eat any vegetables?

    I have enough fruit, but not enough vegetables. I have a salad everyday with about two cups of chopped mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers but I really think I should be eating a veggie with dinner and lunch, in addition to my salad.

    I try though!

    I eat very few vegetables, but mostly I eat low carb things, protein bars, meat, cheese, eggs.. and I love to sneak fruit in when I am having a good carb day! .. Banana or Apples are a favorite, or peaches!!

    You will catch me from time to time eatng corn, or green beans... a good salad never hurts... but most days I don't touch vegetables.

    Pretty good about veggies because I usually have a big salad with lunch. But terrible about fruit. Almost never eat it...

    I eat them every day, but I probably don't eat enough of them.
