Six to seven servings of F&V is a lot. Who eats constantly all day? I would be tired from the effort of chewing. I could probably substitute peanuts, but that's still a lot.
I am eating 2 oranges, 1 apple, and 1-2 bananas a day.
I also put away some yogurt daily.
all that is in addition to my 3 meals.
Wow, but you use up a lot of energy.
The Truth is too sedentary to eat that often. I usually eat breakfast and sometimes a late dinner.
We have funny eating habits. I have to practically beg my son to eat. Every time I knock on his door he yells out, "I'm not hungry, Ma."
With the weather so bad I've been taking him to school and picking him up. I'll ask him if he wants to grab some breakfast. No. I'm not sure he eats at lunchtime because he's such a picky eater, so I pick him up and grab something to eat on the way home because I know he's starving.
After the evening wears on I keep asking him are you hungry? It's such a job.
But, I can't complain too much, because I'm the same way.
