I eat all of those every day. The spinach is out of the garden. I just log it as romaine now matter what kind of lettuce or spinach I use in my salad. I don't use iceberg. Keeps it simple.0

Excellent list except as yummy as those walnuts are EACH WHOLE WALNUT IS 30 (THIRTY) CALORIES!!! I found this out the hard way last week. So if you eat 10 of them that is 300 (THREE HUNDRED) calories!!!

Walnuts are good for your mood, and they are high in ALA, a polyunsaturated fat that is converted to Omega-3. something that is very good for you.
I eat a handful either between bkfst and lunch or lunch and dinner. about 1oz. Tides me over.0 -

blueberries
spinach (kale, bok choy, romaine)

1 cup of bluebarries is 84 cals, so you can't sweeten them up....

What I dont understand is the yogurt. Dairy isnt good for anyone. Calcium can be acquired from so many other foods.0 -
I love the plain fat free greek yogurt, and it is so good for you with all the protein. I like to sweeten it with a tsp of agave and sprinkle some flax and cinnamon. yummy!!!0

One thing about Yogurt...read the sugar content on the label...it takes a lot of searching to find one that isn't full of sugar.
That's why I only eat plain yogut!0 -

Probiotics are good for everyone. I think that's the main reason yogurt is on the list.

Yeah, walnuts are delicious and good for you but as I stated, EACH walnut is 30 cals
A handful of walnuts or 1 oz of walnuts is 185 calories !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So fine, eat them if you choose too, but eating them between meals just 2x per day is 370 cals of 1 oz of walnuts (a handful), 3x per day = 555 CALORIES!
If you're on a 1200 a day diet, 1400 a day diet or 1600 a day diet that's a LOT of calories. Know what you put in your mouth!
As far as yogurt - occasionally I go for a gogurt, it's high in sugar but just 70 cals. I don't do it often. And I also really like plain yogurt, but it's best to get the non-fat ones without cream at the top....
Just my opinion! Watch those NUTS they are CALORIFIC!0 -

I eat Organic Plain yogurt and add stevia and vanilla. It's wonderful0 -
I am getting my second dose of yogurt in today. I added an 1oz to my carrot ginger soup. Totally helped to balance it out!0

Trying to break this down as to why these foods were chosen, correct me if I'm wrong!!
yogurt - digestive health
blueberries - antioxidants?
spinach (kale, bok choy, romaine) - vitamins galore, also full of fiber
tomatoes (watermelon, pink grapefruit, papaya, guava) - something about the acidity that helps your metabolism?
walnuts (almonds, p;anuts, or macadamia) of course the healthy fats!
oats (Flaxseed, wild rice, quinoa) not sure what this offers, really
carrots (sweet potatoes, mango, butternut squash) also not sure of the benefits here0 -
Great information but some of those are kinda expensive. I love all of those things but have a pretty small grocery budget. :sad:0

i sometimes eat kids' yogurts...often a bit lower in sugars.0

Tomatoes = lycopene for heart health I believe
Oats - soluble fiber
Carrots - beta carotene
spinach = vitamin K0 -
