    Cup of broccoli

    3 button mushrooms

    3 kiwi fruits

    1/2 onion

    about 3/4 cup zucchini

    (not much because i got up late and couldnt eat too much today )

    Im not clued up on how much counts for a serving, so im not sure how how many i had........
    Depending on what was cooked and what was raw, it's between 3-5 servings.

    In order to promote healthy vegans and healthy veganism, I'd like to start this thread where we post healthy eating days where we get in at LEAST 10 servings of veggies and fruits.

    All the most respected vegan Doctors and nutritionists suggest emphasizing fruits and veggies as our main foods, so why not take advantage of their expertise and guidance and do our bodies a favor by eating really well?

    In general, a "serving" of Vegetable is:


    • 1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup chopped raw vegetables or
    • 3/4 cup vegetable juice or
    • 1 cup of raw leafy vegetables


    In general, a "serving" of Fruit is:


    • 1 medium-sized apple, banana, or orange or
    • 3/4 cup of fruit juice or
    • 1/2 cup of chopped, frozen, cooked, dried or canned fruit

    Happy, healthy eating
    Here's the serving guidelines for this thread, Happycow A standard "cup" is 8 oz.

    So, if you are eating them raw, you measure a serving out that way and if you are cooking it, you measure after cooking (as veggies loose water and shrink during cooking and the serving size reflects that).

    Monday to Friday I eat: 4-5 apples, 3 clementines, 2 mandarins, 1 banana, 3 pears, 1 portion of grapes or strawberries, 2 portions of salad (lettuce, rocket, cucumber, beetroot, celery, radish & carrot). That's while I'm at work. When I get home I sometimes eat more vegetables, sometimes it's just nuts, seeds & dates.

Wow, i never knew I ate so much of these foods! It just comes so naturally now!

    I love salad too, but 6-7 cups of mixed veggies and greens equalls a LOT of chewing and a LOT of bulk in the belly! That is the size I usually make for my family of 3 to eat with meals (a large mixing bowl full, so we each get about a cup of mixed greens and then a cup of mixed various veggies like shredded beets tomato, onion plus sprouts).

    i know, but for some reason i can eat alot of food in one sitting :| its wierd! the most of salad ive had is about 5 cups in one sitting WITH other food, so i wouldnt be surprized if i could eat 6-7 cups by itself.

    I don't like salad, it bores me. I only eat it once in a while.

    Lettuce is the most boringest thing ever.

    That being said, I might have one for lunch today since I have lots of veggies.

    Sorry Sweetie, you are not overeating by any means and I didn't mean to imply that! I am just commenting because I am wondering if you have measured correctly because the way you lay it out it looks like 3 small meals in the "what I ate today" thread and here, it looks different. Even if you ate 20 cups of salad over a few meals, it would be a good thing! Keep eating lost of healthy foods, you growing girl, you!

    Have you had arugula, mixed baby greens, mizuna etc? I eat them because I know they are really good for me I add chopped cabbage, beans or legumes (chickpeas work nicely) seeds, nuts, shredded beets and carrots and red onion and a flavorful dressing so it's never boring.

    You all are such an inspiration! I try to get in 5 servings/day and feel proud when I accomplish that (I'm a recovering junkfoodetarian). I'll look forward to seeing how well everyone is taking care of themselves and hope to join in on the fun as my recovery process continues

    Plain potatoes shouldn't count in the total. They have been shown to lack the protective effect of nonstarchy vegetables in most studies-nutritionally they are more like grains than most other "vegetables." Sweet potatoes and winter squash do count, however.

    Totally agree with Concious Cuisine, salads are wonderful when they include the more exotic greens: radicchio, arugula, mizuna, etc. They are expensive but can totally transform the mundane to the magical.

    My salads are completely delicious. I crave them. It helps to use lots of different veggies including lots of different types of leaves--a little bit of 20 things is great.

    Each salad is a symphony of different colors, flavors, and textures.

    Actually, for the purposes of this thread alone, they *do* count. There are things people eat which I feel have little value (corn, potatoes) but I still feel those things are better than eating pasta, bread, cereal and the like which so many vegans seem to eat in excess instead of vegetables and so it's still a huge improvement.

    Believe me, I have pondered starting a thread about the healthiest eating called "I ate these SUPERFOODS today!" and listing acceptable foods (oregano, blueberries, ginger, lemons, kale, broccoli, arugula and so on) but in order to more encouraging and accepting of what some consider baby steps and others consider LEAPS and BOUNDS, 10 servings of varied veggies and fruits is a god place to start Be on the lookout for that thread, after people have become accustomed to this initial change

    I feel this thread is becoming a bit anal. Poor old spuds, me an my Irish ancesters feel not counting them as a veg a bit harsh I feel the odd spud does me good especially oven fries . God I'd die without them .
    Anyway you will be pleased to hear that I didn't eat any potatoes today,but the ol' diet went to pot a bit. Here goes:
    green capsicum
    onion
    orange
    4 dates
    2 apples

    Sad I know, but I didn't even get a lunch break today.

    Sorry you feel that way! My post explaining why potatoes *do* count should take care of that, yes?

    Besides, if this thread were truly "anal", (or if I were being "anal") I would ask everyone who wasn't following the guidelines outlined in the beginning (especially the part about only posting here if you have eaten AT LEAST 10 servings of fruits and veggies!) to stop posting here, wouldn't I

    As for the humble spud, I love oven fries myself! In fact, I think I'll have some today!

    Potatoes are a vegetable; corn is a grain.
