I've dropped from nine to about five, this has happened before when I try to increase nuts and seeds. Rats! Should be nine servings of different produce BTW, people should not be double counting.

I haven't tracked fruits and veggies in a few days and am noticing that this thread is slowly dying..let's bring it back!!

Well I'm on the Slim Fast Plan which is mostly shakes and bars. There is a sensible meal though and like half a dinner plate is supposed to be veggies for that. Then there's a quarter for starches. If I use my snack times for veggies I could probably fit 1-2 veggies in at each snack time. The day with a goal of nine would look something like this:

0 bkfst: Shake
2 snack: 1 serving Carrot Sticks, 1 serving Celery Sticks. salsa or lemon juice (depending on calories*)
0 lunch: Shake
2 snack: 1 serving Tomato Slices, 1 serving Zucchini Slices. Low Fat Italian or balsamic or just basil (depending on calories*)
3 dinner: Chicken breast, Brown Rice, 1 serving corn, 1 serving red bell pepperchopped, 1 serving yellow bell pepper chopped.
2 snack: 1 serving raw broccoli, 1 serving raw cauliflower, hummus or lo cal ranch for dipping (depending on calories*).
9 TOTAL VEGGIES

Honestly I think I'd gag with that much veggies per day and I LOVE vegetables, it just doesn't look enjoyable like this. I will try it though, starting by incorporating them into one snack per day till comfy then another then another. I already go all out with the veggies at dinnertime because the plan was designed that way and I must admit sometimes a snack includes 30 baby carrots with salsa, so it could be something I could get used to.

*snacks say depending on calories because you are only allowed 100 calories per snack and the veggies alone might meet that limit.

6? I don't know what a "serving" of Blueberries look like but at $5.99 a pint I don't eat a huge amount.
