Meat and veggies: Any veggies?

[JEDI]

i keep reading when you go on a high protein diet, u need veggies.

green leafy veggies?
or any veggies? (ie: peas, diced tomatoes in a can)

I'm not a nutrition expert but if it's about being able to poop despite eating mostly meat then you need fiber.

I don't think canned tomatoes have much.

Carrots, artichokes, okra, peas, cabbage, beans have more AFAIK.

Eat the vegetables you WILL eat, not the ones you think you are supposed to eat. But trying new veggies and ways of preparing them can result in some pleasant (and unpleasant) surprises. It's hard to go wrong by shopping in the fresh produce section, but remember that corn and potatoes don't really count as veggies, and that too many root vegetables are generally not good as they tend to be starchy. Other than that, go crazy and see which ones you can stick with.

black beans are half protein and half fiber.

You can do lots with them, mostly involving spices.

Do you happen to be doing low carb or keto Jedi

I like to do a lot of spinach, broccoli, asparagus and cauliflower.

I am on low carb and I do a lot of the same as the person above except I don't like asparagus
