Instead of trying to eat more, think what do you want to cut down? Meat? Carbs?

Then cut those down and replace with a veg dish instead. Buying a vegetarian cookbook helps. You don’t need to go vegetarian, but you’ll find great recipes for vegetables, instead of as an afterthought.

With pretty much any vegetable, salt, pepper, olive oil and crushed garlic roasted in the oven for 20 minutes is tasty.

For me, I’m trying to eat a more Mediterranean diet, for my health, so that means curing meat and carbs and having lots of veg and herbs and nuts. When I make something, i think to myself, what veg would work with this recipe and add that as an extra.
