Nutrition on Instagram, and really all forms of social media is rough.

Whenever calories are mentioned, there will be people who will be saying ‘THERE IS MORE TO NUTRITION THAN JUST CALORIES’ which is true. But calories are still important. And if you think they aren’t important, that is just as silly as thinking they are the only thing that matter. Instead we want to aim to have a level of awareness of calories as well as other factors that are relevant (see list below). And then put that into context in a way that aligns with your goals and lifestyle. Instead of black and white thinking, be aware of the shades of grey.

Factors to consider alongside calorie intake: macronutrients, micronutrients, meal frequency, meal timing, antioxidants, food intolerances, allergies, dietary fibre, polyphenols, certain chemicals, food volume, prebiotics, probiotics, types of fat and levels of satiety, to name a few🤯

Are you struggling to hit your 5 serves of veg per day? The answer is likely yes, as it’s proven that only half of all Australians are hitting the recommended number of served of veg per day.

Why are they important?
There are SO many benefits of eating veg: including but not limited to them being rich in vitamins and minerals, rich in antioxidants and containing lots of dietary fibre. In addition, they are super low in kilojoules (excluding starchy veg) and as they are so fibre rich they will help you keep full, which can aid in weight loss!

How many vegetables should we be eating every day?
The current recommendations suggest most adults should eat at least 5 serves of vegetables every day.
A standard serve of vegetables is ~75g, however this can look different depending on whether you’re eating raw, cooked or canned vegetables.

I’ve listen below 5 ways to up your daily vegetable count:

1️⃣ Bulk up your breakfast: vegetables make a great pairing with savoury breakfasts. Add some spinach and sliced avocado to your eggs on toast, or perhaps grating some zucchini and carrot into your scrambled eggs. You could also add some veg to your morning smoothie - try adding a handful of spinach to your protein smoothie, you won’t even taste it!

2️⃣ Build your meal around the vegetables (rather than as a side to a meal) - this can be a great way to increase your intake. Try a vegetable soup, a tasty salad or some vegetable fritters, patties or even a vegetable lasagne.

3️⃣ Find ways to sneak in extra vegetables: there are loads of meals which can easily be bulked up by some grated or diced vegetables. Try chopping or grating zucchini, carrot, onion and capsicum into a Bolognese, lasagne, frittata or casserole.

4️⃣ Meal prep some tasty veg to add to any meal throughout the week - roast off some pumpkin, potato, mushrooms, zucchini etc

5️⃣ Include veggie snacks! Cut up some carrot or celery sticks and pair them with hommus or a salsa dip!

You really can’t go wrong with adding more veg into your diet, so choose a way which is tasty and reap the benefits!
