Veggies Galore: Low in Fat, High in Fibre

Children between three and six years of age should take one serving of vegetables every day and those above seven years old should take two servings daily.
Eating 150g of raw, leafy vegetables - equivalent to one-sixth of a head of iceberg lettuce or three handfuls of raw baby spinach - is considered one serving. For raw, non-leafy vegetables or cooked vegetables, one serving is considered 100g.
Salad greens are one of the healthiest ways of consuming vegetables. Greens are low in calories and a good source of fibre, so it is a great way to add volume to your meal without adding a lot of calories.

But if you drown your salads with salad dressing, then you might risk piling on the fat content of your diet. As far as you can, avoid creamy dressing.
Vegetables are healthy as they are low in fat, high in dietary fibre and complex carbohydrates and are important sources of nutrients like potassium, folate and vitamins A,C and E.
