That's fine-I don't usually keep any data, so I'm geeked to have some lol. But I may do your way from here on out-not as time consuming
And wow, nice job on all the veggies and fruit you got in today!0 -

Thanks, but I could do better with variety. I tend to eat one or two veggies in quantity instead of a lot of variety.
I wanted some easy way of putting it here, because I'm lazy. I figured out a general recap format would be one I could stick with.1 -
About 1137g so far btween breakfast & lunch, if I count all the legumes - but only 971g if I only count 80g of them like I'm supposed to (I guess).
Breakfast: Around 100g mixed berries (I eyeball these) in my oatmeal with Greek yogurt, hemp/flax seed & walnuts.
Lunch: Hummus (50g); black beans (196g) with orange sweet pepper (49g), onions (45g), salsa (56g), and cheese. Plate of raw veggies and a li'l fruit: Cape gooseberries (38g), tomatoes (81g), carrots (78g), celeriac (113g), cucumber (191g). Cantaloupe for dessert (140g).
I'm cheating by even posting here, I think - this is kind of a normal day for me. Tuesday and Wednesday this week will be a challenge, though, because I have social events with a restaurant meal planned both days.
Dinner today may have some veggies/fruit but probably only a little, because I still need another 27g protein, and I do only tend to have one major-veggie meal daily.

So I completed the day with 807 grams which included tomatoes, cukes, mushrooms, zucchini, red bell pepper, and an orange. Only problem is that my protein is really low for the day. I have a few hundred calories left so I'm gonna have some eggs and greek yogurt.4

I've never had eggplant, so many veggies and fruit I haven't tried yet. I really should try at least one new thing this week....1 -

I'm obsessed with it at the moment, it's the texture. It just sucks up flavour and sauces!2 -

I think I want this recipe.
Beans and legumes count for one serving per day... so 80 grams.2 -

I was thinking of making a bean burrito for supper, do you think canned refried (pinto) beans count?0 -
Day 1:

607g of raw veggies. This included romaine, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers and yellow bell pepper in a (huge) salad.

I've been up since 4am for work and it is 2.28pm now and I've logged zero portions yet!
Going to snack on a carrot and blue berries now but I'll need to plan dinner out well.
Would coconut water count as one?0 -

Refried beans, they always count!1 -
Going to have a burrito today then!
As for coconut water-according to the Mayo Clinic it's considered a juice, so I think it would count as one of your servings It also sounds like it's packed with nutrients!

That's great I wasn't sure if it was technically juice.
I drink it a few times a week as it helps keep things moving shall we say

I wanted to join this, but I knew I would only make it 2 or 3 days before my fruit and veg ran out. Side note: update with how your doing bathroom-wise. 2

Feel free to join in just for a day or two! I'm already thinking ahead and will probably try and implement this 3-4 times a week after this week
As for 'bathroom'-my fiber intake yesterday was still fairly low, and no noticeable difference yet lol. I didn't get all the way to 800g yesterday though-going to really try and hit that today though!0 -

I think I might continue this through Lent, seeing as today is Fat Tuesday...I had been pondering cutting out all added sugar, but that really doesn't sound like much fun. This is a more positive "sacrifice" and at least yesterday contributed mightily to my "Virtuous Snacks" category while really cutting down my "Naughty Snacks" category (somehow chex mix and thin mints still managed to sneak in; I hear they are the Devil. 
) There is not a lot of room for naughty snacks with an ambitious veg and protein goal to tetris in.
Regarding loo issues, I mentioned the stomach ache I had last night...I never, never get stomach aches, so that definitely raised an eyebrow. It probably doesn't help that after I noticed the stomach ache, I had a banana and some sliced deli chicken to try to meet my veg/protein goals, but an antacid tablet settled things right down.2 -
Yesterday's numbers:
- 69g banana with breakfast
- 111g lettuce with lunch
- 56g tomato with lunch
- 250g apple with lunch
- 392g turnips with dinner
Total - 878g3
