Aaron Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 For the last few months I've been eating 1/4 to 1/3rd of a pound of leafy greens daily. Or shooting for that. I pack a pretty big salad each day for lunch and usually add greens to dinner and snacks throughout the day. But I'm a 175+lb dude so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogh_me Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'm a female but I'm seven inches shorter than you. I eat 7-8 cups (packed) of greens a day. Usually romaine, beet greens, spinach and mesclun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsorlando Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I don't eat enough, but that's about to change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I eat 1.5-2 heads of whatever greens my mother buys me. But really I think you should eat as much as you can stand. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone eating too much...only not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thendanisays Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 well thats good news potter because i eat about a pound a day or so! which, now i think is a lot. i do need more variety in my types of greens though...i always do that-eat one veggie til i'm sick of it then pick something new. i gotta cut that out.

Lean and Green Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 imo greens are the one thing you should never worry bout oding on. But yeah switch it up! There are so many options.... I usually rotate between bitter leafys and herbs to regular ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I put down a minimum of a 1 lb total of Kale or a Kale/Spinach combo a day. Eat as much as you can handle. I'd say 1 lb to 2 lbs is a good range. Not pertaining to greens but I've been pretty consistent with berries being a little over a 1 lb of mixture of frozen blueberries, frozen raspberries, frozen cherries, dried goji berries and acai pulp.

HighVelocity Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I am a 5"2", 121# female and I currenly aim to have 1 full head or bag of whatever dark leafy greens look the best each day. But after reading this thread, I am thinking about doubling that though! Thanks for giving me something to chew on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im Your Man Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 If you chew well your food, you can eat as much greens as you want, but it has to be organic. Otherwise eat just a normal portions with 2 meals. Usually I eat at noon: Greens, salad, carrots... with a carb meal like rice and beans. Evening : salad with protein meal like tofu and cooked brocolis Sometimes I do green smooties like spinach-kale-persia, good assimilation of iron because there's Vit.C at the same time.
