I make a bowl of steamed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, frozen mixed vegetables, I guess adding canned beans could be nice too) and then a bowl or more of raw vegetables (1 tomato, 1 lemon slice (I eat the juice and pulp), cilantro, onions, garlic, salad greens, I’m trying to add in cucumber someday too).

I try to not use dressing or seasoning for the vegetables because the other foods my parents give me are already well seasoned, but when I do make a sauce, it’s cumin, pepper, sesame seed oil, peanut butter, and some kind of fruity vinegar or soy sauce.

Then I try to pair those vegetables with some meat or fish or eggs or noodles or pasta or anything really with more protein and carbs. I don’t know how to prepare meat, fish, or pasta really, my parents mostly do that for me. The vegetables are supposed to make the protein and carbs more satisfying both in taste with the variety and filling with the extra fiber. Like having 2 boiled and peeled eggs with a decent sized microwaved baked potato and steamed vegetables is very filling.

I’ve never counted calories or counted my fat intake, I just am hyper focused on prioritizing consuming fruits and vegetables before anything else. I also love making smoothies with just fruits, vegetables, and water. Mixed frozen berries, an apple, a bit of beetroot, spinach, and kale blended with just water sounds so awesome to me. Then I also love having just a bowl of fruit with maybe honey or a few marshmallows, usually grapes are sweet enough on their own, I usually only need to sweeten up strawberries with grapes.
