There's lots of nutrients. However vegetables, while can be eaten raw, are much more useful for your body molecularly if you cook them first. I think it breaks down the cellular walls so that your body can digest the juicy tasty nutrients locked within. Vegetables also don't have calories, that you get from things with vitality. You are what you eat, and sometimes if you need it you might want to try meat. Me? I'm a vegetarian, that's why I'm so skinny! Carnivores have it so easy, I have to eat about 2x as much rice-and-beans by weight. At least I'm not vegan - I can supplement with fats like butter and cooking oil, which are useful when combined with nutrients, as they allow your body to store them for later. Just make sure you eat enough calories which are energy for your body, otherwise it won't have the chemical energy to store said nutrients in your latent fat cells. Like, building up a pantry, or a squirrel saving nuts for winter. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2295 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: your favorite text editor │ └───────────────────────────────────┘ @user-1218 can echo into a file if nothing else, though that's quite a big hassle =P ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2296 ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: re: food-mentioned │ │ ║ └────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ energy drinks and coffee will keep you awake, but they're a false promise, as │ ║ once they're gone and digested your body's gonna crash harder.
