    It's early, so nothing yet, but I'm planning to have around 2 cups of celery, 1 apple, and for dinner I'll have a big plate of vegetable curry (potatoes, peas, cabbage, spinach, carrots and onion).

    Black beans are totally veggies. The UK says you can only count 80g of legumes (one serving), no matter how many you eat, but I personally think they're cray. ;)

    Yup.

    On the other hand, corn isn't a veg, as normally referred to, it's a grain. But not saying it doesn't count if someone wants to count it. I think of it as interchangeable with potato or sweet potato or pasta or rice and not broccoli, but of course potatoes and sweet potatoes are technically vegetables too, just starchy ones, and what else are grains, really. (Mushrooms aren't a veg in reality, but I tend to count them anyway.)

    For the 5+ veg for people not used to eating veg, I probably would limit beans to one serving just because I think it's important to get in the habit of eating a variety of non starchy veg. That said, I don't think a lot of people eat tons of beans and not vegetables otherwise, at least not from what I observe, so eh. I think strict counting is not that big a deal anyway, better just to eat a wide variety and a good amount most days, but some may find counting helps them (and I enjoy counting for discussion or challenge purposes, whatever rules are agreed to!).

    Wasn’t that just because they thought that everyone was getting their beans as canned, sugary baked beans, so they didn’t want to say it counted as more? It was the same reason as not counting potatoes, so people wouldn’t be counting fries as vegetables.

    2 bananas
    an apple
    about 202g of a broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot blend
    about 324g sweet potato
    about 195g broccoli
    and some hash browns in my breakfast bowl

    P.S. I had sardines in tomato sauce but there was very little tomato in it. I also had 95g or so of great white northern beans.
