Default Am I eating enough vegetables?

Day two. So far so good. However, I'm using fitday and coming in at about 20 grams of carbs... but I don't think I'm coming in at all near to 2-3 cups of veggies/day.
Today I ate:
2 eggs 1 oz cheese
chicken with salsa fresca, 6 small fresh mozzarella balls, 2 cherry tomatoes, half a portabello cap + half a small zucchini with pesto
4 oz fish, 6 jumbo shrimp and one piece of celery w/ goat cheese.
And it added up to the right amount of carbs.
The fat/protein/carb percentages are right on fit day. But doesn't it seem like a very small amount of veg??

It does seem a little low to me as well. Best way to be sure you are getting the right amount of veggies is to measure everything

So remember that you are counting net carbs and deducting fibre. That usually saves a few
Also to get the veggies in right it helps to measure them in the cups. Remember two cups from the "salad list" this one is less carby so you can eat more in volume.

Seems like you are a little high on cheese. Remember cheese limits of 3-4 oz (100-115 gr) If you do have to cut down on cheese you probably need to add some oil for more fat.

Looked pretty good though
