Best vegetables?

Revenant · 01-27-2003, 09:26 PM

I eat most of my veges in stir-fries. What are the best vegetables nutritionally, for bodybuilding to include in my stir fries? I'm told Broccoli has something that is necessary for testosterone release, and I gather that all green veges have calcium. What else should I consider?

Add also,

Spinach
Green Beans

I'd stick to those for Fibrous veggies

Cauliflower looks like *Brains* and then we boil them!

Stickboy · 01-28-2003, 06:06 PM

LOL, I don't care how good they are for you, I'll NEVER eat Brussel Sprouts again.

I try to eat a good mix of veggies, but I like most of the green ones (Esp, Asparagus & Broccoli). Stir frying is a great way to eat em too. You don't cook out all the good stuff.

Any reason not to add Bok Choy to the stir fry?

Fit Freak · 01-28-2003, 07:54 PM

Brussel Sprouts trick...chop them and then stir fry in a pan with some salsa....makes a big difference

cornfed · 01-28-2003, 08:01 PM

Hmm. I've never even tasted eggplant, asparagus or squash. At least not that I can remember. What do they taste like?

w8lifter · 01-30-2003, 06:12 AM

Eggplant and squash both have very mild tastes....kinda take on whatever your cooking it w/....asparagus...tastes like a green vegetable?

I don't know, lol...it tastes good

Here's a little bit I gathered for you:

"Low in calories and fat, Mangoes are a good source of fiber. This fruit is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C. It also contains vitamin E and vitamin B6.

One cup of Raspberries provides 45 percent of the RDA of vitamin C, contains about 45 calories, 9 grams of fiber, and is sodium-free.

An excellent source of vitamin C, eight Strawberries contain about 50 calories and offer a source of fiber. Strawberries, as well as other berries, are cleansing agents for the bladder and the colon."
