Veggies or brown rice??

[seriouslifter]

I am trying to make a cutting diet, with every meal i know lean piece of protein like chicken. Should i eat veggies like broccoli and asapaurgus coming from frozen bags or brown rice? Prob 1/2 cup of whatever in each meal. Should I mix it up veggies in 1 meal and brown rice in another. I want to cut and lose body fat. Also people said you will lose nutrition value if you cook veggies, how do i eat frozen veggies from bag then??

I would use both in both meals. I don't count veggie cals.

Depends on the veggie, if you eat carrots/peas/corn as opposed to Broc/Spinach/Green beans then you'd have a completely different calorie count. So I find it important.

Give us a sample diet, that's too broad a question if you should include them or not. How many calories will you be taking in? What macros per day?
These are things you need to figure out.

I don't see how cooking vegetables would degrade them, I just wouldn't boil them.. either microwave the frozen ones or steam them.
