Don't you just love it when...
You try something new and it works! On whatever level. This evening I was finishing stuff from the fridge. I had Quark spred on crackerbreads, with a smear of salsa dip on top. And it was yummy! And i didn't know! And each one was about 24 calories, if that. Snack success.

Any way to track fruits/veggies?

Is there any way to add extra goals per day to your tracker? I know you can on Spark People but I…
