    So far I've had chia seeds and banana. For late lunch I'm thinking lettuce, tomato, avo, cucumber, capsicum, myoga (kinda herb thing) and zucchini maybe. Plus some cooked sweet potato.

    Dinner isn't planned yet so we'll see! At least a small salad and grilled zucchini.

    A can of collards for today. Anybody else really enjoy your vegetables?
    I do. I can't stand greens like that raw. Raw mustard greens in particular were so bad, I threw them out.

    Thanks to cooking however, I've been enjoying them a lot more recently. My current lunch blend actually has some mustard greens.

    I do miss the taste of raw carrots.

    Today I'm having a banana, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a nectarine. I may have zucchini later, too, but haven't decided yet.

    Breakfast: blueberries and blackberries picked last night. (Yum)
    Lunch: Salad of mixed greens (spinach, romaine, baby kale), tomatoes, cucumber, red cabbage, shredded carrot; Snacks will be sugar snap peas, red sweet pepper, carrots.
    Dinner will be (not quite raw but cooked to the point of being just scared) pan-roasted cauliflower with garlic and white wine and stir-fried fresh green beans with garlic, olive oil, and fresh lime juice.

    Might throw in a peach, since they're in season.

    Typical day for me.

    Missed my vegetables for the last few days. But bought a 12-pack of low-fat single-serving yogurt. And bought two canisters of casein protein powder. Maybe I can get the vegetables down, while tail-gating off the other two good foods. One thing builds from the previous.

    They really ARE pretty bad. I just kinda hold my nose. I just force feed myself the greens. It's the adult thing of vegetables before desserts. Sometimes I win and get those veggies down as a personal victory.

    Does an apple count? Because... my lunch sucked today. I was in such a rush I was lucky I got what I did! Seasoned chicken, instant oatmeal and an apple. I almost bought bean from the farmers market... but didn't want to fork out $4.50 for beans.

    BUT YESTERDAY oh veggies galore. Whole head of lettuce, 120 grams of mushrooms, 30 grams of onions. All in one sitting hahah. Plus carrots at lunch. And my daily apple.

    I got my vegetables for today. I supplemented them with some Welch's grape jam, so I could get them down. Yes, it counts. y49psy4n410i.jpg

    Apple for me, too. And there was spinach in my sausage, so that totally counts. Frozen strawberries to have with my yogurt - and may I just say that if there's anyone who hasn't tried sheep's milk yogurt plain ... don't. I love the stuff once it's sweetened a bit, but plain it really tastes like sheep smell. And yes, I've worked with sheep so I have personal experience of their aroma.

    Now tonight, I'm thinking Brussels sprouts, and I have some Cherub tomatoes that I ought to polish off or they'll probably spoil.

    I love my vegetables. They're all cooked. It's tasty and much nicer for my TMJ.
    you should bake them and coat them with some coconut oil too delicious and i always eat the skin for more nutrition thats one of my go to lunch items i bake a few and store them in the fridge every week.
    I had some carrots, broccoli, and romaine lettuce with my English muffin this morning. I've got a mixture of mushrooms, bok choy, cucumbers, and sweet potatoes for lunch. They're cooked in butter, a nice way to get some much needed extra fat in, and some Ms. Dash. The banana I'm eating with it is raw.

    Dinner is Subway, I guess the veggies I put on that would be raw.
