So which vegetables are the best for you to eat. I hate vegetables, I don't want to eat any worthless ones - what are the top 5 best ones for the nutrition, etc.
>sweet potatoes(real ones not the yams)- great carb source, high vitamins, good calories for bulk.
>spinach- the patricians lettuce
>tomato- personal preference
>avocado- tastes great- decent calories for bulk- loaded with vitamins- disobedient;)
>serrano chiles- good vitamin c-- pussies need not apply- chop tiny tho
all you need
>worthless vegetables
/fit/ never ceases to amaze me.

You forgot broccoli, the cornerstone of any good dump.
>>36116673
You can't think that some vegetables are more useful than others. What are your top 5?
>>36116631
Only 2 of those are vegetables
>>36116687
goddamnit forgot but tbqh i havent been eating them as often as i should
broccoli takes place of tomato.
>>36116631
>disobedient
ayyy
>>36116673
tomatoes, corn and white potatoes are "worthless" vegetables
>tomatoes
>spinach
>mushrooms
>broccoli
>onions
For me, goes great with pretty much any dish
>GOAT Tier
Broccoli
Sweet potato
Spinach
Kale
>Great tier
Carrots
White potatoes
Cauliflower
Peppers
>Meh tier
Everything else
>Why on God's green earth tier
Cucumber
>>36116726
well i went off ops pic since some of them arent either.
>>36116816
Does kale have any nutritional value?
>>36116795
Tomatoes are fruit, corn is a grain. Why do people not know what vegetables are?

Will these help me bench 2pl8?
if time under tension builds muscle, why do high reps of an exercise build endurance. is it because the muscle is under little stress?
>>36116795
>white potatoes are "worthless" vegetables
nigger you can live off potatoes for years and years without getting sick or having deficiencies.
there are close to zero foods that can boast that
>>36116895
>close to zero foods
you would be far healthier eating nothing but broccoli, spinach, kale, etc. potatoes are next to nothing. just empty calories
>>36116869
time under tension does not built muscle. its the increased load that builds muscle. load that is sufficient enough to cause the micro tearing of muscle fibers. which is why higher reps arent as efficient in building muscle as lower reps.
>>36116859
Probably. Some of them lower inflammation and improve recovery time.
>>36116920
time under tension can cause sarcoplasmic hypertrophy - muscle size, but not necessarily strength
>>36116431
yo OP I have the best advise for you.
>Buy kale, brocoli and avocado
>steam the brocoli and kale
>put em in a blender with avocados and water
>greengoo of healthy gains acquired
you can put any vegetable you want, as long as you have avocados it will taste good since they have a lot of (healthy and tasty) fat
>>36116832
Merica classifies them as veggies because they are cheap (when subsidized as they are here) so that they can feed school children "well balanced meals with healthy servings of veggies." Cheese pizza counts as one or two servings of vegetables because of the tomato paste. Let that one sink in.
>>36116930
you can have tension till your blue in the face but it wont lead to bigger size unless you increase the load sufficiently.
>>36116912
>eating nothing but broccoli, spinach, kale, etc.
how do you plan to get enough calories eating nothing but leafy greens?
>>36117019
I find the load is significantly larger after turning blue from the tension.
>>36117048
ayy
>>36116912
>>36116795
>potatoes are unhealthy meme
You guys are goddam morons
Just look up the information.
>>36117015
Yeah everyone knows that tomatoes TECHNICALLY count as fruit, but for all practical purposes, they're a fucking vegetable. You must be real fun at parties.
>>36116895
Source? And like the other guy said, broccoli, spinach, and kale are easily way more superior of vegetables.
>>36117033
Uhhh, from non-vegetables? Meat? Nuts? Eggs? Dairy?
>>36117216
I never said they were unhealthy. I said they were worthless. You should honestly gtfo of /fit/ if you still even use the term "healthy" or "unhealthy." It's just an absolutely stupid and completely subjective term. Anything could be healthy/unhealthy depending on the rest of your diet, short of trans fats and the like.
And yes potatoes are worthless as vegetables.They don't taste nearly as good as non-vegetables, but they also have shit micro nutrients.
>>36116631
>not yams
And immediately we are shown that /fit/ has no idea what they're talking about.
>>36116431
If you don't have Kale, Spinach, Broccoli, peas, carrots, yams and green peppers in your diet. You are doing something wrong.
>>36116816
fucks wrong with cucumbers, dick
>>36118157
compare the two and actual sweet potatoes are superior. by no means a bad veg tho
>>36117386
>but for all practical purposes, they're a fucking vegetable
What purpose is that?
>>36118816
the purpose of tasting good in salad tbqh
>>36118816
The faggot was clear as day
>it is so because I say it is so, end of story
Sometimes I wonder how you people function in life
>>36116631
i like this list but how do i pick out the imposter potatoes?
>>36116431
honestly I only eat long beans. No any other vegetables, just long beans.
>>36118939
these are the actual sweet potatos. yams [orangey ones people make candied yams out of for holidays] are also called sweet potatos in alot of stores, and may be all they sell. so you might have to search a bit. at least here in the states
>>36118939
You probably wont find real yams unless you go to an international market assuming you're in the US. Sweet Potatoes can be legally labeled as yams here.
>>36116431
spinach/kale/chard(beet/turnip/dandelion greens if you're pretentious)
broccoli
pick at least one dark leafy green and add broccoli
you're hard pressed to find a 'bad' vegetable (all i can think of is potatoes/sweet potatoes/yams, and only if you're not trying to gain weight), but pretty much every vegetable plays second fiddle to the above
carrots may be eligible for the above list, or are at least really fucking close
>>36116832
>Tomatoes are fruit
Oh get a load of this retard. You probably don't even know a tomato's nutrient profile.
>>36119017
that gif is backwards
>>36118921
>because I say so
Biology says so. These are tomato fruits growing on a vine, the same way grapes do, the same way oranges grow on a tree. They're sweet and juicy and have little seeds inside. They are not leaves, they are not roots, they are not flower buds. They're fruits.
>>36118976
I've got a "long bean" you can eat ;)
>>36119032
No, US labeling is backwards and confusing
>>36119041
Your reading comprehension sucks.
are yams bad?
what about these potatoes?
>>36119041
Botanically tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, avocados, and beans are all fruit.
Botanically bananas are a berries, while strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are not.
Sometimes being pedantic can piss people off, but I'll be fucked if you try calling a botanical fruit a vegetable; I will die on that hill, motherfucker.
>>36116810
>mushrooms
Thats a fungus you dolt.

What the actual fuck

>>36119070
What makes the tomato thing especially stupid to confuse is that there's nothing about a tomato that could be mistaken for a vegetable and not a fruit, even in the kitchen. They're sweet, juicy, and colorful little thin-skinned balls that you can easily eat raw. They even look almost identical to persimmons. It's not like it's a fucking leaf or something.
>>36119068
those look like some scrumptious potatoes lad
cheers for posting them thanks man

what's with these reactions!?
>>36116631
solid choices, but certainly not everything you need
>>36116816
fuck u dude cucumbers are crunchy, delicious and refreshing. I like slicing them lengthwise w/salt
>>36116828
yea and you can throw some oil and seasoning (maybe some nutritional yeast if you're feeling fancy) on them and cook in the oven (400F till crispy) to make kale chips
>>36116912
>>36117386
potatoes are fine, definitely not worthless

are you guys happy now?!
I also wanna give a quick shout out to brussels sprouts. If you find them gross when steamed/boiled, try roasting/frying them (they caramelize nicely too)
and finally, a reminder that making smoothies is a great way to get in veggies/fruits that you wouldn't normally eat otherwise
>>36119245
>some faggot made a youtube video from his car and garage in his shitty apt saying its so
Cant argue with that solid proof
>>36119291
what?! Zack's fruit facts are the shit... anyway he's right; look up the definition of "vegetable."
>>36116828
Tell your handler or parent or whoever else helped you type this comment to just Google it next time you fucking mong
>>36119309
>vegetable
>a)a dull inactive person
>b) a person who is severely impaired mentally or physically.
You are yet another fag trying to hijack a thread and make it all about yourself
My favorite vegetables are bananas, tomatoes, peanuts and beetroot.

THis is a great book on the subject. Great research on phytonutrient levels of different vegatables.

You people amaze me sometimes.
If you're too mentally deficient to understand that vegetables and variety are the absolute foundations of good diet then you're hopeless.
Eat at least 80% of the fruit and veg on this list every month and your diet is pretty good: http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php
If you're still pretending that's too difficult, give this list based on a ranking by a combination of nutrition profiles: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/06/23/top-fruits-vegetables.aspx
If you're still saying you should eat less than 5 fruits/vegetables per day after that you're a lost cause.
