    Just starting to reintroduce fruit into my life. I had a fat malabsorption issue which caused me to have IBS with fruit and acidic veggies. A while back, I ditched animal fat, and added a lot more fiber. Basically a vegetarian these days. Fixed my booty. No longer a flamethrower. So adding stuff in and experimenting again.

    So today.

    Breakfast - 1 cup spinach, 1/4 of an avocado, tablespoon of almonds.
    Lunch - Lentil stew loaded with carrots, kale, spinach, coconut milk, tomato.
    Snack - 1 whole mini zucchini, 1 cup of baby carrots
    Snack - 1/4 cup blackberries
    Post Workout Smoothie - 1/4 cup kale, 1/4 cup blue berries,
    Dinner - 2 cups of roasted butternut squash, Topped with my homemade Pineapple / Artichoke Salsa
    a roasted shallot, half a cup of raw red cabbage, 1 pickled jalapeno

    Have only had breakfast today so far, and it didn’t contain fruit or veggies. But the plan for the rest of the day includes:

    1 beefsteak tomato
    50g cocktail onions
    100g carrot
    Assorted mixed veggies in my veggie fritters for lunch
    175g peach
    3 large button mushrooms
    50g broccoli
    20g red onion
    Small handful cilantro (this is a herb, does it count???)

    A moderate day today, often it’s a little more, depending on the content of my meals!

    Is chocolate bunny a fruit or vegetable?

    Neither, so you may need to change your eating habits. :)

    Today has been:
    Breakfast- sweet Potato, onion, peas corn and capsicum (omelette)
    Lunch- spinach, zucchini, tomato, broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkin
    Dinner- spinach, carrots, pumpkin, onion, celery, garlic
    Snack- apple
    I love these threads because it goes to show how people who track still eat lots of nutritious food and you don’t have to be following some fad diet! I have found since I’ve been using MFP I eat way more fruit and veg and probably just as much as anyone following a strict plant diet

    My store bought soup of choice :) Bought a two cases of this from amazon.ca when they had a sale at $0.88 per can.

    I actually bought it because you had raved about it in another thread. :)
    You got a great deal! I probably could make it myself for not much more than this can cost me. lol

    Yesterday I had some coconut cream in my coffee...

    Today I'll have a few green beans with dinner, but the rest is turkey, pork, dairy and eggs.

    ETA that most veggies don't agree with my digestion so I limit them. I limit fruit due to sugar content and no real desire to eat them for their cost.

    Today (leaving out the non veg or fruit items):

    Morning "use up stuff" smoothie: cauliflower, mixed greens, half an avocado, Montmorency cherries, and blueberries -- probably came to about 5 servings, or 5.5.

    Lunch: huge salad with arugula and spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, red onion, broccoli, and olives -- another 5 or so servings

    Dinner: going out, so who knows.

    Breakfast: Two dates and four prunes, about 1 serving of dried fruit total (the rest of breakfast was two soft-boiled eggs, a whole wheat flatbread, Dubliner cheese, and almond butter).

    Lunch: A big salad with about two cups of kale, about 1/2 cup of radish greens, one tomato, 1/3rd of a red bell pepper, 1/4 of a cucumber, and two radishes...so I guess about 4.25 servings. I usually have a big salad with lunch (the rest of lunch was dry roasted broad beans and dried herbs on the salad, black bean chips, some whole milk plain yogurt, and a whole wheat everything bagel).

    Tonight for dinner I'm going to have two small russet potatoes, about 3/4 cup of boiled kale stems and about 1/2 cup of frozen peas, so about 3.25 more servings (the rest of the meal will be tempeh, extra virgin olive oil, and seasonings).

    Then with my dessert I will have about 1/2 cup of frozen raspberries which is 1/2 serving (along with 2/3rds of a serving of unsweetened dried coconut). I could eat way more frozen berries than that but they're expensive, so I'm rationing them out.

    So overall about 7.5 servings of vegetables and 1.5 servings of fruit. I eat more fruit in the summer when my favorite fruits are in season and on sale -- berries, peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, etc.
