Replies
-
1 cup Blueberries, 1 cup pineapple, red pepper, garlic, 1 cup carrots, .5 cup green beans, mashed potatoes, two kiwis. Veggies make my stomach hurt but I try.1
-
Yesterday was raspberries, olives, banana, spaghetti squash, tomato & basil sauce, tomato, green & yellow string beans.0
-
157g leafy romaine salad
170g cut green beans
215g opal apple
3 cherry peppers
Maybe a Clementine if I am hungry after dinner.0 -
So far just a banana. I tend to save my fruit for later in the day when I get a craving for sweets.0
-
Breakfast was a PB&J donut, which was delicious but I don't think raspberry jam counts.
Lunch will contain riced cauliflower, mushrooms, and pickle in a bibimbap. Dinner will be a carnitas salad at Chipotle, so I think I am hitting my veggie serving goal today (despite the donut!).1 -
Breakfast included a banana and half an avocado. For snack I will have an apple or orange some time today.0
-
Today I'll have raspberries, 1/2 banana, spinach, spaghetti squash, tomato & basil pasta sauce, peaches, apple & because I find them delicious & despite the miniscule amount, there's a veggie in there somewhere - cauliflower tots and broccoli & cheese tots.0
-
Yesterday was:
leeks
asparagus
cucumber
spinach
kale
blueberries
raspberries
tomatoes
jalapenos
cauliflower
More than one serving of several of those.1 -
Takes a bit of work to figure out because it's usually inside the stuff I cooked and not on its own.
I'm having a cobb salad right now, which is probably...2 cups of lettuce? And a 1/2 cup of raspberries. I'm also having green pea crisps, although I don't think they really count.
For breakfast I had a goat cheese and spinach quiche, I'm not sure exactly how much spinach was in it but it's a fair amount, so maybe 1/2 a cup cooked spinach? It also had a lot of onion in it, so maybe 1/4 cup onion.
For dinner I'll be having some bigos, which is mostly cooked cabbage and saurkraut, so I'll say maybe 1 1/2 cups of cooked cabbage. I'll also have 2 cups of steamed broccoli.
Sooo....- 2 cups lettuce - 1 serving of vegetables
- 1/2 cup raspberries - 1/2 a serving of fruit
- 1/2 cup cooked spinach - 1/2 serving of vegetables
- 1/4 cup onion - 1/4 serving of vegetables
- 1 1/2 cups cooked cabbage - 1 1/2 servings of vegetables
- 2 cups of broccoli - 2 servings of vegetables
I could get more fruits and veggies in, but considering I'm on a 1200 cal limit, I think I do okay. Some days I do better than this, some worse, but this is pretty typical for me.2 -
Better today.
Clementine
Banana
Red pepper
Onions
Portobello mushrooms
Spinach

Asparagus planned with dinner later.1 -
So far just 1.5 servings of cantaloupe, a serving of grapes, and some apricot preserves (totally counts, right?), but I'll end the day somewhere around 12-15 servings, between veggie soup, veggie burgers, vegetable sides at dinner, homemade vegetable sauce on pasta, and raw fruit/veg for snacks!0

Doing pretty good today. So far for breakfast I had about 1/4 cup blueberries in my oatmeal, and I had a beet, celery, carrot fresh juice. (1/2 red beet, 2 carrots, and a celery stalk). Late breakfast so lunch will just be a protein snack, and I'll take an apple with it. The plan for dinner is caldo verde, which is potato soup, with onions and also collard greens. Also I'll make a green juice tonight, out of 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 green apple, spiniach and celery. Maybe an orange for dessert!0
