    So far just a banana. I tend to save my fruit for later in the day when I get a craving for sweets.

    Breakfast was a PB&J donut, which was delicious but I don't think raspberry jam counts. ;)

    Lunch will contain riced cauliflower, mushrooms, and pickle in a bibimbap. Dinner will be a carnitas salad at Chipotle, so I think I am hitting my veggie serving goal today (despite the donut!).

    Takes a bit of work to figure out because it's usually inside the stuff I cooked and not on its own.

    I'm having a cobb salad right now, which is probably...2 cups of lettuce? And a 1/2 cup of raspberries. I'm also having green pea crisps, although I don't think they really count.

    For breakfast I had a goat cheese and spinach quiche, I'm not sure exactly how much spinach was in it but it's a fair amount, so maybe 1/2 a cup cooked spinach? It also had a lot of onion in it, so maybe 1/4 cup onion.

    For dinner I'll be having some bigos, which is mostly cooked cabbage and saurkraut, so I'll say maybe 1 1/2 cups of cooked cabbage. I'll also have 2 cups of steamed broccoli.

    Sooo....
    • 2 cups lettuce - 1 serving of vegetables
    • 1/2 cup raspberries - 1/2 a serving of fruit
    • 1/2 cup cooked spinach - 1/2 serving of vegetables
    • 1/4 cup onion - 1/4 serving of vegetables
    • 1 1/2 cups cooked cabbage - 1 1/2 servings of vegetables
    • 2 cups of broccoli - 2 servings of vegetables

    I could get more fruits and veggies in, but considering I'm on a 1200 cal limit, I think I do okay. Some days I do better than this, some worse, but this is pretty typical for me.

    So far just 1.5 servings of cantaloupe, a serving of grapes, and some apricot preserves (totally counts, right?), but I'll end the day somewhere around 12-15 servings, between veggie soup, veggie burgers, vegetable sides at dinner, homemade vegetable sauce on pasta, and raw fruit/veg for snacks!

    I'm finding fruit so high in sugar, I needed to cut down and replace it with more veg to keep the daily calories under control.

    Doing pretty good today. So far for breakfast I had about 1/4 cup blueberries in my oatmeal, and I had a beet, celery, carrot fresh juice. (1/2 red beet, 2 carrots, and a celery stalk). Late breakfast so lunch will just be a protein snack, and I'll take an apple with it. The plan for dinner is caldo verde, which is potato soup, with onions and also collard greens. Also I'll make a green juice tonight, out of 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 green apple, spiniach and celery. Maybe an orange for dessert!

    Today in my yogurt I had 1 oz blueberries. Does 1 oz granola count for anything here? For lunch I'll have ~1 oz banana and 1 medjool date. For dinner I'm going to have asparagus and something else. I'll figure it out.

    3. 1/2 cup of cucumber slices
    4. 1/2 cup of baby carrots

    Veg/fruit component:
