    How come MFP people aren't eating even remotely close to the recommended 7-10 daily servings of fruits and veggies? Discuss. :glasses:

    Because some of us [me] do not follow the food pyramid. For me, fruit has too much sugar.

    Look at the amount of grains included in the food pyramid. Just one of the reasons I don't follow it.

    I love the "everyone's different" saying.

    It's like saying "I have 3 hearts and two stomachs, and my muscles run off of poop"


    Haha VERY true...

    Because MFP also tells me I have gone over my sugar allowance if I eat 2 apples...

    That's a pretty broad statement. I personally don't have the energy to look at enough food diaries to verify or disprove it.

    Sounds like you need to have some fruit to give you some more energy! LOL....soooo just kidding!!!

    In the US "Pizza" is considered a vegetable so that they can serve it in the schools...it is eating that "healthy" that put us all on MFP in the first place.

    You wouldn't know that I had 5 servings of veg for breakfast just by looking at my food diary. I blend my veggies into my breakfast smoothies.
