    Some of my FL have been encouraging me to get more protein. Previously, I would only meat meat, fish, and carbs.

    Does ths spinach, green pepper, and diced tomato on my thin slice of pizza count? Had mushrooms too, but they're technically not a vegetable.

    I'm not a fan of the low sodium on, but Mott's Garden Vegetable is pretty low too and I find it tastier! I use this to supplement my veggie intake some days.

    Does ketchup on your hamburger count? That's made from tomatoes right?

    Yep! just had some cauliflower and those cool fractal broccoli things.

    I've had broccoli. I've had cauliflower. I've even had brocco-flower. But what the heck are these things?!

    Romanesco! It tastes like a cauliflower-broccoli hybrid. It's yummy!

    It's amazing as a casserole with a little rice, chicken, and cheese!

    That's great! How many grams of protein does that rack up?

    I hope you're not relying on veggies for your protein unless you're consuming them by the pound.
