Steamed veggies?

They are literally one of my favorite foods. I'm vegan and I have a dining hall meal plan so I eat lots of them and often go back for seconds on the steamed veggies. Is that okay?

    Steamed veggies are definately ok to go back for seconds!! :) If they have some raw veggies they be great to sneak out to keep on you for snacks.

    Awesome! Because I'm always afraid I'll eat way too many and go over my cal limit. (They do have a killer salad bar!)

    Steamed broccoli is my favorite! It's sooo yummy. So are steamed peas and carrots :) I don't really have a problem going back for seconds, so I guess it's up to how much you've had for the day.

    I'm not a vegan but I so loove steamed veggies especially broccoli. Its OK to have 2nd or even 5th servings of it but go easy on the sauces or dips because they will add up calories so fast.

    Steamed veggies are fine but you do need to eat things with protein in them to balance your diet.
