So I've been lifting most of my life (28) and have always been a picky eater. I wish I was an eater who "eats to live, and not lives to eat" but I am not. I attempt to eat new things and things that are good for you but those damn green plant things are awful.
I try and eat healthy (shit ton of chicken and white rice along with others to round it out) but I am wondering if the missing ingredient to super gainz are in the veggies? What do yall think? |

There are lots of neurological advantages to a high sulfur diet. You won't be getting much of that through anything but veggies that are high in sulfur.
Also, it's a good idea to have a wide variation of nutrient sources imo, just because each type of food has it's own strengths and you might as well take advantage of them. |

Most of them are nutrient rich yet low in calories. I mainly enjoy them to break up the monotony of taste and texture when tackling a large slab of protien.
I take a daily multi but that is a poor substitute for nutrients derived from readily digestible food stuffs. Also fiber |

Get the frozen steam-in-bag veggies from the freezer aisle of the grocery store. Make sure it just has the veggies, no seasoning or "sauce." Microwave for the proscribed time then dump a tbsp or two of melted butter over them with salt and pepper. Easy, tasty. Why not just fresh? Sautee in butter. You can portion and freeze it. Or just blend some. |

I don't eat vegetables.
But I do eat vitamins. Probably not as good though. Quoted:

That's one piece of this puzzle I haven't got down yet. I lift good, eat enough protein but I don't eat enough veggies and I don't do cardio on a regular basis.
If I could ever put them all together id be on to something. Oh and I eat too much Ben and jerrys....just finished a pint right now actually. |
| Dietary preference is partly a function of habit. The most basic senses of taste are sweetness, sourness, saltiness, & bitterness. We gravitate to sweet tastes early on. The best way to expand your preferences is to try preparing new foods in ways that might make them more appealing. Spices & certain vinagers & glazes can make vegetables more appealing. Over time, you'll become more accustomed to the natural taste. |

In all seriousness, if you have a hard time eating veggies, try blending them with orange juice and drinking it. Kale or Spinach works well that way. Throw in a few carrots etc. I happen to like vegetables, so it's not hard for me but I still do the blender drinks sometimes because it's faster

Then I say fuck it after a few asparagus Have you tried blending? With spinach in particular, if you mix it with orange juice, it tastes mostly like orange juice.... Also, at least for me it's easier to drink something that doesn't taste great than to eat it. It's just faster, which helps. |
