Past few nights ive been eating about 500 grams of spinach with dinner and 250g skinless chicken... At this rate im gonna overdose on vitamin K...

@freemo

I was going to say that you need to watch out for iron O.D. with the spinach, especially for folks with heart disease...

@Pat Iron is only 3x daily max, Vitamin K is 27x daily max... Iron overdose is unlikely unless i eat like this long term.

@freemo

Yeah, the iron issue is mostly for folks who have pre-existing cardio problems. You might want to eat a wide variety of greens -- kale, broccoli, cabbage, etc.

If you cook em and put a sauce on them, you can palate just about any veggie.

@Pat I've been focussing on the spinach mostly for the potassium... not many good sources of potassium that are low in calories and carbs. But yea I will need to switch it up tomorrow.

@mc

For strawberries we are looking at 1.5mg potassium per 1g strawberry. thats 3,133 grams of strawberries to reach my DV on potassium. That is a little over 1,000 calories worth of strawberries... Sounds tasty though.
