    Maybe some what obvious answer, but fresh local veg & fruit in season should be first choice, for cost, nutrition and even green reasons

    The fruit and veg question... More veg than fruit? Equal amounts? (daily)

    What do you all suggest?

    Chocolate and peanut butter are my staples. . . :-D

    Past that, any veggies and fruits. . . I can't live without that. If I go a day with a good amount of either, I end up feeling like crap and starving the next day. Nuts as well. Greek yogurt is always good.

    I'd say on average more veggies than fruit. . . but it just depends on what YOU like.

    I try to keep my fruit to one or 2 portions max per day, so lots more veg than fruit for me.

    Fruit most likely has more sugar in it i'd go with the veggies!

    i keep these on hands for days when I need a sandwich :)

    otherwise, I always buy:

    yogurt
    fresh fruit
    granola bars
    veggies
    fish


    every single week.

    I always have fruit on hand. Its very healthy and easy to count cal. Bananas are my favorite. Fruit sugar does not harm you unless you have a special medical condition. Oatmeal is also very good for a filling. All the veggie you can eat, does not matter which ones really. The are extremely low in cal, but very nutritious and are very good in wraps with a low fat hummus. :smile:

    Thanks guys - about the fruit and veg question :)

    My absolute favorite snack is sliced cucumber with homemade guacamole - YUM-O. And very quick to prepare!
    I also keep a large container in the fridge filled with veggies already cut in bite size portions - broccoli, cucumbers, carrots, celery, cauliflower, and cabbage. I eat spinach in my salads and bake fish every chance I get!

    I have Fiber One protein bars and 90 calorie bars on hand if I'm in a rush.

    Eat foods that you like. /thread



    But really make sure you get enough protein (1g/lb LBM) and fat (.3g / lb) . Fill the rest as you would like.

    I am just curious why the first word in this statement. It is unnecessary.
