I'm behind. I only eat two meals a day, generally. Plan on having a huge salad with my protein for dinner. I used to eat salads everyday but fell out of the habit. I like this challenge.2

Yesterday's numbers
62g banana with breakfast
220g blood orange with lunch
2 cups of vegetable soup - didn't weigh it
100g of carrots with dinner
Total 382g plus the vegetable soup.1 -
I just now saw this thread and I'm nearing the end of supplies from my last grocery store run, so officially participating isn't probably feasible. However, that being said, I just glanced at my (mostly) pre-logged diary for today and it's sitting at 716g of fruit and veg with 400 calories left to spare. At least I know the challenge wouldn't be unreasonable for me.2

Do you not get pickled onions? I love them, so low calorie and I like wrapping slices of ham around them.

I might have a problem with calories during the challenge. I'm stuffed and only on 1000 calories and it's almost bedtime.
I'll have to force some nut butter or ice cream down me

800 g a day eh? Let's see how I do today.
so far I have:
200 g of rutabaga
104 g of asparagus.
76 g mandarin orange
104 g Brussels's sprouts
Will check back in at the end of the day.1 -
So I decided to make my first meal filled with mostly veg and some fruit. It added up to a whopping 654 grams of mushrooms, zucchini, red bell peppers, and 1 orange. I only have about 150 grams left for the rest of the day.
I really thought this might be more difficult.4 -

Never seen these before (and I've never had a martini lol), but I'm now on the lookout for them
Looks like everyone is doing great today! I had my menu plan for today all figured out/grams calculated, but after a busy afternoon of errands/kid's school stuff I'm not feeling like cooking at all tonight sigh... I'm also going to be painting our laundry room yet tonight and just feel like eating Oreos for supper lol. Will check back in with my totals in a bit!2 -
Done for the night, except for an evening cup of hot cocoa, so here's my day one totals:
-grams of veggies/fruit: 665g (a bit short of the 800g goal)
-menu today:

Snack-sugar free vanilla pudding cup with blueberries, a banana and one graham cracker mixed in
Meal #2-can of Progresso Light Enchilada chicken soup with hot sauce, sour cream and corn chips added; raw red bell pepper slices with Hidden Valley bacon ranch dressing for dip
Misc- 2 Lifesaver mints and then a cup of low calorie hot cocoa (Swiss Miss Light packet, mixed with water, Davinci 0 calorie raspberry syrup and then a serving of whipped cream)

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.4 -
I have 150g of carrot sticks in front of me!3
