Hello everyone!
Well I was first wondering if anyone would like to post a suggestive list of 5 to 10 of the best veggies to eat. I know that brocoli is great. I did think cauliflower was good and fibrous until I realized its color and compared it to people saying that green veggies are best. Here is a list of veggies I could add to my diet: spinach, corn, cabbage, peas, carrots, celery, artichoke.
I also would appreciate it if you could post a list of fruits as well. I'd like input on the more common fruits: apples, oranges, grapes, straw/rasp/blue berries, cherries, bananas, peaches, melon, cantelope.
Do fruits have any more nutritional value than veggies? -or visa versa-
I wanted to know if fruits and vegetables were considered carbs. Like if I need some carbs and I usually eat a slice of bread or something...could I have some salad or something if I dont feel like having bread?
My mom is really starting to bitch at me about my lack of fruits and vegetables. But I say, "I already had enough carbs today tho." She says, "Have some brocoli! Vegetables arent carbs...they're their own food group!" So I was wondering if I should cut out some of my other carbs if my mom is gonna make me have my vegetables (I feel like I'm 5).
On a totally different subject now...
I'm not sure how many more or less calories would be detrimental to my diet. I have an AMR of 1840 cals. It's kinda hard to get exactly 1840. Especially because I have trouble determining the calorie count of unpackaged things that I cant see a nutrition info note for. Or when I'm trying to measure an exact tbsp of PB. I was thinking maybe give or take 50 cals from the given number would be okay? You think more or less?
Another totally different subject...
I dont usually do morning cardio cuz I'm really not a morning person. I didnt do it before because of early school. But now it's summer so I tried morning cardio the other day before I ate anything because I know that's a good thing. I literally almost passed out. I did twelve 5,10,20 yd Alabama sprints (shuttle runs) [to keep up with soccer conditioning]. During the school year I did these in the afternoon, home from school. I did them...not exactly with ease (cuz they're sprints)...but without the feeling of passing out. I think it most likely had some to do with the cardio before food. Anyone else ever had this problem?
Sorry about the long post but I figured it would be less annoying to have one big post than a buncha little ones. Thanx for reading and please try to help!
