Since I'm not doing so well at getting consistent exercise and posting in the daily exercise thread, I came up with the idea of folks posting the fruits and vegetables they eat each day. At least that's one thing I'm consistently pretty good at doing (for over a year now), and these days I need all the sense of accomplishment I can get.
In general, a serving is a 1/2 cup of veggies/fruit, but 1 cup for leafy vegetables.
I had eight servings today consisting of:
- pineapple
- strawberries
- blueberries
- romaine lettuce
- red cabbage
- carrots
- grape tomatoes
- raisins
- zucchini
- yellow squash
- asparagus
- broccoli
- red and yellow bell peppers
- Granny Smith apple
I got a good variety by having a salad and a side of mixed sauteed vegetables at lunch and a heap of different mixed vegetables at dinner, with fruit at breakfast and for snacks. Sometimes I eat a large egg white omelette for breakfast that contains several different vegetables.
Yesterday, eight servings:
- tomatoes
- red bell pepper
- onion
- spinach
- pineapple
- strawberries
- watermelon
- honeydew
- string beans
- orange
- broccoli
- carrots
- yellow bell pepper
- raspberries
I know folks are eating their fruits and veggies, so I hope this thread will garner a little interest.
