Are vegetables a meme? What I mean is if I meet all my fiber,

Nothing really I suppose, I like veggies for taste and satiety. I can eat a fuck huge bowl of spinach, broccoli, green beans, shredded carrots etc for 350 calories and feel full for ages.

Good luck getting all your fiber and micros while feeling full and happy and not wanting to kill yourself from anything other than vegetables

OP is a fat faggot that ate nothing but Velveeta Mac and cheese and hot dogs as a kid.

Grow up

Veggies are an excellent, low calorie source of everything you listed, plus beneficial phytochemicals. So no, they aren't a meme. They are the superior alternative. Just get your protons from meats.

Alright fair, thanks friend.

Well sure, but according MFP I don't need any of the "healthy" shit. I meet every daily recommended value. I'm already at my calorie limit, so what do I have to gain by fitting them in?

I'm already at this point though.

Here's something actually interesting. These do what for me exactly?

vegetables make you feel full for fewer calories, making your cutting process less painful

vegetables give you fiber which helps your digestive system (and may positively impact cholesterol levels)

vegetables have thousands of compounds and elements that we don't know much or anything about (in the context of nutrition) that may or may not be important for the health of your body. We are really nowhere close to having a complete map of what kind of nutrients our bodies need at what kind of intervals to be healthy -- we've just mapped out some of the big ones.

Sometimes the nutrients in vegetables are much more bio-available than the pill-form equivalent. So eating 200g of broccoli a day may be way better for your zinc levels than taking a zinc pill. (just an example, idk about the actual bioavailability of zinc. I think zinc tablets are typically spiked with vit C to improve bioavailability.) This is a generally hotly debated topic, and why some people think multivits are completely pointless.

there are probably more reasons. So eating veggies is p. much a win-win

MFP doesn't track enough nutrients to be sure, it only counts a few micros out of like 20. Try plugging a typical day into cronometer, that has almost all the nutrients. The phone app isn't free but the desktop website is.
