    Well then… can't really turn this into a bunny young lady… you'll have to do better to get it to qualify!

    Have not wrangled escapee bunnies since April, lol

    Too busy wrangling DASH exchanges β€” time flies!

    Had a rare 1/2 blueberry bagel with pb for breakfast...

    So, Pav, can I count those as a rabbits toe? Lol Are raisins in cookies countable??? It's a bit like that for the bagel ;)

    Have a nice ceasars salad prepped for lunch, not sure yet how the carrots and cabbage will be used for dinner, maybe some stuffed cabbage rolls with a bit of leftover rice.

    Peach, watermelon and dried plums for fruits round out my rabbits - guessing 6 today.

    Well at least you got some bunnies in!

    Are they trying to squash your blood pressure or something? I thought DASH was heavy on bunnies… so why you would be bunny deficient on DASH?

    Yup: googly foogly says:

    The DASH diet encourages the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, while limiting processed foods and high-fat options.Β 

    The DASH diet emphasizes nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy

    So… that sounds like a good dose of bunnies plus 0% greek yogurt (plus a few other items and considerations)! I've heard of that before! :-)

    Bunnies! 222g of edible portion of grilled corn on the cob (No butter, no oil was requested and hand-feel says it was probably adhered to!) 220g of edible portion of chicken breast and wing portion at nando's (ooops: I guess that's a canibal bunny!) 500g of baby peas, onions, fresh tomatoes and classico fire roasted peppers sauce… that's almost 100% bunny… so maybe verging on 8 bunnies without even counting any cocoa beans! :) (and I still have another 1310g in the fridge for later!)

    PLUS I have a new creammie freezing for later! A can of pineapple and three baby cups of peaches… split over two creammies….And that's mostly bunnies, right? (I think there is some bunny cheating when it comes to "packed in juice" cause juice is a bunny derivative but I am not quite ready to call it a bunny!)

    Trying to incorporate a more mediterranian diet here; sounds very similar to the DASH?

    More rainbow coloured fruit & veg with lean proteins, beans & pulses, still trying CICO’ing.

    Errr. No matter what. The energy part is cico. Whether Calorie counting or other type of wrangling results in cico that's another story.

    Ann wrote a very nice answer in the main threads. The thread is junk. The one answer is goodπŸ˜‰:

    Ugh. Didn't link right.

    Only the comment above my "❀️ @annpt77" counts. So currently near the end

    Yes, DASH is heavy vegs but exchanges are for day, not meal specific - so harder to sort across the day. Not working well for me. It is so similar to MyPlate - both Mediteranean bent for food choices, but MyPlate design is meal specific - just easier - deal with the 1 meal and be done with it.

    Breakfast 1c mix veg saute, tangerine - 1.25

    Lunch 1c mix veg saute, 1/2c sliced strawberries, 1/2 c green grapes - 3

    So why the experiment with DASH? How long do you stick with it if it’s not working? It just seems counterintuitive to move from what was working to humor the RD. I’ve never worked with an RD so I may be missing something here.

    @Yoolypr Ah, found the Q again, finally, Lol

    We are in a 1 yr program with an RD - kinda like paying for school - so I go to class instead of skip.

    She's back from vaca, and met this morning. She's ok with me going with myplate to build meals. Still wants me to understand swaps and to work on/explore food choices/new to me nourishing foods.

    Shopped farmers market after... this weeks abundance is kale, ground flax, zukes & yellow summer squash, and some nutritional yeast.

    She suggested collards, since the cmmunity gardens/csa/farmers markets are prolific. Leary of collards, mustard and assundry greens.

    Bunnies today

    • B c stirfry veg - 2
    • L 2c salad - 4
    • D 2.5c salad/fruit - 5
    • S fruit - 1

    Math, head, er... 12

    This thread cracked me up πŸ˜›. I love veggies, and the bunnies would hate me!

    Yesterday:

    Breakfast - no bunnies, usually do protein shake and a sandwich

    Lunch - Chicken and baked cauliflower, tomatoes and bell pepper (good 6-8 oz of veggies)

    Dinner - tofu stir fry (probably 8-10oz of veggies!)

    so, all total, about 16 oz, or ~450 grams.

    🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰 - or maybe a little more?

    Just ordered from Salata (salad restaurant in my area) for my lunch, going to get more bunnies:

    And, planning on having a Smoothie King for tonight - Gladiator with added rasberries and blueberries.

    About another 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰today.

    Ha! You're stuffing in the bunnies! a bunny would be an "official" portion of veggies or fruits. Variably between research papers and country level nutritional recommendations that would come to 80g or 85g of veggies or fruits with half of that when it comes to "dried" items.

    I admit that the initial paper I had read that was going on about the benefits of extra veggies (and, sadly, more so of veggies as compared to fruit) was using 85g and finding incremental benefits at a full 8+ portions per day. Most country level recommendations seem to consider 80g to be a portion though (and that does make it easy to consider dry fruit at 40g for each portion).

    There is some disagreement as to whether "starchy" vegetables should be considered a bunny with country level (UK for example) recommendations excluding potatoes and plantains. Personally I don't see why a vegetable is not a vegetable and nutritionally a potato appears to me to be pretty nutritious! I'm fairly sure that the benefits might not quite be there if the potato is a potato chip or crisp (depending on country of origin! ;-) But I really don't see why a boiled potato would not count. As such I personally count them, as an example.

    My bunny day yesterday was sad! 350g so barely over 4 bunnies of tomatoes and cucumbers!

    Tomatoes are a fruit 🍎- I think?

    indeed they are! But bunnies are both fruits and vegetables! They both count! Even if that long ago paper was ranking the veggies above the fruits!

    Plum, peach, curry crunchy salad, tomato & spinach on the wrap - calling it 4 today.

    After a 1982 Cal dinner on Wednesday that we can safely call 2000 (in spite of my using a scale there still exist open questions as to which entries to use for the fish and the chips) on Thursday I took it easy!

    2050 Cal for the DAY, not just dinner! Bunnies were 350g broccoli "slaw" and 155g carrots (mini sticks) all smothered in most of a jar of Classico! Did add a tiny bit of lemon pepper. But was too hungry to bother to scrounge up any cheese plus my every bite was getting guilt tripped by the scrounged so I was trying to keep my head low and not make eye contact with the scrounging machine!πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ So 6 bunnies!😎

    But but but, yakky, what the kittens is a "c" πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

    Are you trying to say 152g or slightly less than 2 bunnies??? 😜

  • yakkystuff
    yakkystuff Posts: 1,987 Member

    2c is 2 cups of cut watermelon = 2 equivalent fruit servings in exchange plans - back on the table when taking gl (glyxemic load) into account after GI (glycemic index) virtually knocked it (watermelon & carrots) off the table with high index #'s…

    Eyeball inducing spinning, all of it!
