    Is Microwave Bag Broccoli and good?

    Lately I've been getting these frozen microwave bags of broccoli, that you just throw the bag in the microwave for 5-6 minutes, and you have steamed broccoli.

    The ingredients are just: Broccoli, nothing else...But I was just wondering if there was a significant difference in the benefits of the veggie by using this kind? It's always been a chore to throw in veggies, cause for my first 2-3 years of working out I never had them and was fine. But now just from reading various posts I realized how good they are for me.

    Nothing wrong with frozen veggies.

    Fresh is the best
    Frozen is 2nd best
    Canned - its not even worth it.

    Well what about the microwave steam bag? It's kinda cool, you just take the bag out of the freezer and throw it in like a bag of popcorn, and like 5 minutes later open it up and you got veggies.

    Here you go...That's exactly what I use. How many meals should I add the veggies too? Should I add them to my P/F meals? Or just any meal? Should I use any other ones that they offer (check it out, if you can)

    I'm surprised I've came to this level of phyiscal state without really eating veggies on a regular basis.
