    Yum, pizza and cake fun. Was glad to hear her reception in travels was fun and warm.

    Ok, lunch today crunchy cukes. Greens, green beans & asparagus, pepperoncinis, tangerine, craisins, mustard - calling it 4 bunnies :)

    That one keeps coming up :) - maybe we should make these personal decisions ? For me I don't count them because of the high calorie count and I'm trying to up my intake of other vegetables. But I think they are a great part of a healthy diet and if them being bunnies brings more into our lives they should be bunnies!

    Okay. For the next big question :) Today I had a dill donut with two deep fried panko crusted dill pickle spears on it. (last day of birthday celebrations with a wonderful friend who is lean as a string bean and lives on donuts) Bunny????? ๐Ÿ˜‰

    From the op: 1 bunny = 85g of vegetables or fruits or 40g of dried.

    So fruit counts

    My food swap plan puts peas, corn and carrots with rice, grains, potatoes/squash and legume/beans and fruits.

    We traditionally think of corn as a veggie...

    But i would wonder why would a legume (plant) be excluded when corn is not?

    We traditionally think of rice and oats as grains - not as a vegetable, but why exclude and then accept fruit?

    All are plants sourced in natural states.

    Potato chips from a bag? Probably not. Sugared cereals, um no. But Oats/oatmeal is more equivalent to rice, potatoes, corn and fruit.

    Just some thoughts...

    My craisins in my salad count, but not my garbanzos?

    I'm not sure why dried fruit counts to be honest. They are really up there on the calorie front? I don't count them - but I eat lots of fruit and veggies and am using this to bulk up my diet with low calorie foods rather than to achieve higher nutrient levels. I guess it depends on what your goal is????
