When I started a challenge like this one over 2 months ago, I had no clue exactly how much of a fruit or vegetable counted as one serving. Just in case you're as confused as I was, here is a guide for you.
(Also, as stated in The Rules, only ONE serving can come from liquid form per day. If the liquid contains more than one serving of fruits/veggies, it still only counts as one serving. The rest must come from fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.)
Keep up the good work!
I have been doing better than I thought! I've actually been having more like 7 servings of fruit and veggies a day. Usually I am lucky to get one serving a day, so that is quite an improvement!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chart. Some sources were saying 2 cups of romaine for a serving, and some were saying one cup, so it's nice to have some clarification!
Thanks for giving us the chart. That will be helpful. I usually do pretty well with my fruits and veggies.
ReplyDeleteI too appreciate this resource. The 5 fruits and veggies is one I was really having to focus on to make sure I got all 5. The challenge is going great so far! Definitely stopped me from putting a few treats in my mouth. :)
ReplyDeleteSo, Dad and I were having a conversation about raisins counting as fruits, since he puts raisins in his oatmeal every morning. I told him that I didn't think so...he was happy to get this chart! :)
ReplyDeleteTrevor asked me the same thing about the raisins. He'll be happy to know that it counts.
ReplyDeleteThat chart is awesome! So helpful. Challenge is going good so far-but I'm a huge veggie lover so this particular aspect isn't too difficult for me. :)
