I didn't get much today. I was out hiking and underpacked a bit. I just had a couple of cucumbers, nuts, a bit of artichoke, and blueberries.0

Fruit and vegetable accountability....oh boy....not the best day for me-Butter lettuce and tomato salad, watermelon, grapes, potatoes (okaay it was fries )4

Does anyone feel fresh and uumm "healthier" after a day filled with veggies? I do, but it's probably the placebo effect.4

a date, yellow and red bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, half an avocado, strawberries, and raspberries. Not my most shining veggie day...1

Black grapes for breakfast, a can of drained pineapple chunks for lunch and probably a can of drained peaches for dinner. I have to keep my sodium intake at a reasonable level and fruits are a good way to get carbs while keeping sodium down.
As for veggies, I may have a salad to go with those peaches.1 -
I had fried green tomatoes, with pimento cheese and bacon on top. Does that count .3

I need to go back to the grocery store and stock up, I didn't have much today, just some apples, corn, avocado, and leafy Greens. Yesterday I had apples, zucchini, leafy Greens, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, green beans, avocado, corn, red peppers, onions, and sun dried tomatoes.1

Maybe not. They got lots of vitamins and minerals, water, plus a bunch of fiber.1 -
I've been trying to make veggies the main part of my breakfast! Always make them with eggs
Breakfast: (cooked) whole zucchini, green onion and mushrooms
Lunch: (raw) beans red pepper celery banana
Dinner: avacado, cantaloupe (fruits but ah well)1 -
Yesterday was lots of spinach and broccoli, 2 bananas, blueberries and an apple. I'd been craving them all, except the apple, I ate that to get my calorie intake up.1

Mentally, no. My body is probably happy about getting the vitamins and minerals but my brain just wants fats and carbs and salt.1 -
Yesteday, I had a mixture of carrots, lettuce, and tomatoes for breakfash.
Lunch veggies were kale, daikon radish, and sweet potato. Fruit was 200g of papaya.
I only had an orange for dinner. The fish I ate was pretty heavy!
Breakfast veggies are the same today; lunch is up in the air; dinner is some green beans and more papaya.1 -
I'm having carrots, onions and tomatoes with dinner.
Lunch is going to be canned soup which has some veggies - like tomatoes, swede, parsnip, leeks, onion, red pepper, spinach and chickpeas - but not in large quantities. Still, it all helps. Oh, and a small jar of mini pickles.
I have a couple of apples set aside for a snack tonight.
I don't worry about my fruit/veg intake too much. Some days are better than others but I figure it'll all balance out in the end.2 -
Bell pepper,onion,tomato,cucumber and lettuce1

Yesterday had spinach, fennel, banana, strawberries, watermelon, cucumber, tomato, onions (all raw), and broccoli, kale, peppers, all cooked.
Today had cantaloupe, cucumber, fennel, banana, and spinach with breakfast. I've been eating way more fruit than usual lately -- mostly seasonal but I currently have some bananas I need to use up before they go bad, too.2 -
Yesterday, I had banana, apple, grapes, romaine, tomatoes, cukes, broccoli, onions, red peppers
So far today, I've had a banana....1 -
Well, it's only 7:50 am but I have plans to eat a giant salad and nectarine for lunch. And then probably a plum as my bedtime snack.1

Maybe a little Placebo effect, but it seems pretty reasonable I feel better after eating those than after eating a sleeve of oreos. Well, my body feels better. The taste buds are disappointed.2
