What is the diet definition of greens? Reading through diet menu and it repeatadly says "1/2 cup greens". I understand green beans, lettuce, asparigus, but are these what the diet is talking about? Are there some green vegies that should be left out?

Either it's the slang term for weed (that you smoke),or like greens you cook and eat, like cabbage greens, mustard, turnips with cornbread.

I believe they are referring to green vegetables that are raw as in a salad.

"Greens" probably refer to leafy green veggies like lettuce, spinach, kale, colrabi, etc.
They are all great for you and have almost no calories.
