Fruits are the hardest for me to get in. They modified my plan so I wouldn't have so many fruits and increased my dairy and veggies.
I'm not a huge veggie eater, but I eat alot of broccoli, mushrooms, baby carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, and green peppers. I have only eat celery I think once in a year and a half.
Actually, now on maintenance I have 7 veggies a day to eat. I thought it was going to be impossible at first, but I have adjusted. I usually eat about 2 cups of cooked broccoli for lunch (4 veggies) and a salad with cucumbers for dinner (2 cups lettuce, 1/4 cucumber (3 veggies)).
Also, I will add mushrooms and/or green peppers to my beef or chicken with dinner. I add mushrooms and green peppers to the CarbCravers Pasta w/Light Sauce too.
I don't like V8, I have this strange relationship with tomatoes. I can eat them cooked in soup, pasta sauce, or ketchup; but that is it.
You can make Turkey Chili with tomatoes, onions, and green peppers and count them as your veggies.
Just try to add veggies to your protiens, it helps out alot.
