    I didn't get any veggies in but picked and ate blackberries both times when I walked the woods.

    I also ate almost 400g of strawberries.

    I'm now over my calorie goal for the day. Oops. Well, that could be down to the two mint chocolate ice cream bars I ate, BUT I AM BLAMING THE STRAWBERRIES!

    Good thinking!! A serving size of strawberries is 140 to 160 grams, or 8 strawberries. You had nearly a triple portion.

    Just packed my breakfast and lunch: banana with my oat flour muffin; fresh peach with my roast beef sandwich; tonight my gazpacho along with something to round out my fiber and calcium macros. I also have my smoothie made from peach, nectarine and strawberries, so that may be dessert tonight.

    Yesterday:

    Cucumber, pineapple, raspberries, blackberries, and spinach, plus anise-hyssop in my breakfast smoothie.

    Salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, peppers at lunch.

    Mix of vegetables including onions, jalapeno, summer squash, cauliflower, eggplant, and carrots for dinner (with corn and pork).

    I need to get some peaches and plums today, as well as more berries -- peaches would have been good in the smoothie instead of the pineapple. Also have a lot of basil, so will make some pesto, maybe.

    Today: roasted peppers, carrots and beets at dinner, peppers and onions in my tuna salad at lunch, and tomato at breakfast. No more than half my RDA though. :(

    Had a quarter pound of kimchi this morning, and will likely be having spinach and sauerkraut with dinner.

    Half a banana at breakfast. Half an avocado in my sandwich at lunch plus carrots and tomatoes on the side. Onions, snow peas and broccoli in dinner followed by half a peach.

    Half fruit portions are because I'm sharing with a baby. I realize I could eat the whole fruit - but he usually can't. :smile:

    Ate my usual salad for lunch with bonus strawberries. I'm enjoying having them in the mix, though finding a random bit of mush is odd and they're a nice balance for the chili lime balsamic reduction I'm using as dressing. Also had a banana in plain Greek yogurt.

    I played with my Vitamix today: renewed my gazpacho stock; and then, as I had a peach which was on its way out, I tossed it in the machine along with a package of frozen raspberries and two small bananas. Let the whole thing rip, and finished with the closest thing to ice cream I've yet achieved. The taste is very nice - I surprised myself.

    I also had a nice fresh peach on its own; and bought some cherries for the week.

    I actually ate fruit today! A few hundred grams of pineapple and I'll have watermelon later too. Otherwise, I wasn't great on the veg count but I ate 500 grams of zucchini.
