🙀🙀🙀🤯😡 👎🤬

👅😘

Woohoo! Just coming in to post Tuesday because I fell asleep before I did last night🙀

🐰🐰🐰 - 🐰🐰 for tomatoes, arugula, 50-50 spring mix, and fresh onions (432g)

🐰🐰🐰 - 🐰🐇 for 371g baby potatoes and 25g sriracha because it's mostly made with red jalapenos and I needed a quarter bunny to justify adding the half flopsie so @Athijade can find the emoji to cut and paste 😘

Personally I think that the Dare 100% plant based real fruit sour gummies should qualify as a half bunnie, but I'll take one for the team and only call 9.5 bunnies, so not 10+ with ⭐ for me today!

Laurie I never did buy the cauli pie. It is was the plant product section next to the plant based sausage rolls I bought. Looked like 1650 Cal for a (light) two person meal. So maybe a substantial low cal salad boost to keep it in reasonable dinner category

@luxia2020 -- ya think I'm not going to find out how many bunnies you've hunted down recently?

80-85 is a portion of fruit or vegetables in most studies. Or 40g of dried things such as figs, or prunes, or fruit leather. Five a day usually defined as three portions of veggies and two portions of fruits is a common recommendation by many health authorities when it comes to healthy eating.

While, for example, the British nutritional guidelines count the totality of pulses one eats in a day as a single portion that can be applied towards the five a day, they specifically exclude vegetables commonly used as starches such as potatoes and plantains. This is in order to encourage variety and to avoid extra calories.

That said, nutritionally if you ARE eating a variety and are controlling your calories, it makes zero sense to MY 🐹 hamsters to exclude a nutritious bunny such as a potato but count an equally (but not additionally) nutritious bunny for a sweet potato. It smacks like the stuff I don't like with WW where a very similar item can cost almost none, or a large number of points depending on whether it is packaged with the right name! And this is MY bunnies, so the guidelines are what makes sense to MY 🐹s. So there. XD

There was a study I spotted back in the day (around 2015 for the younger crowd, probably not even born yet! ) that was showing additional health benefits to the people eating not only their 5 a day, but going up to 8 to 10 a day.

And that's where the bunnies came into play. As a way to encourage not forgetting to throw in a gratuitous veggie or fruit once in a while even if not particularly inspired to do so otherwise. A way to slowly increase consumption if one wants towards the 8 to 10 or higher range.
