Is It 5 a Day???

Who else is confused on how many fruits and veggies we should be getting every day?
Well I decided to check it out for you. We are suppose to be eating 5 servings of fruits AND 5 servings of veggies everyday. No wonder we aren't getting enough fiber right! To help you clarify just how much you should eat I am listing the serving size of the most common fruits and veggies.

Remember we "Fight Fat with Fiber". If it's the only thing you do this week to improve your fat loss efforts this is the one to go for!

Fruit

1 medium apple, orange, or pear
1/2 if large
1/4 cup of dried fruit3/4 cup (6 ounces) of 100% fruit or vegetable juice
1/2 cup grapes, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, ect.

Vegetables

1 cup of leafy vegetables, spinach, romaine lettuce, ect.1/2 cup of cooked or raw vegetables, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, ect.

Juice 6oz. 100% fruit or vegetable

Dried fruit 1/4 cup raisins, prunes, dried apricots, etc.

So getting 5 servings of fruit would be like having 1 large apple, 1 large orange and a handful of blueberries. 5 servings of Veggies would be 1 cup of spinach salad, 1 tomato, 1 cup of broccoli, and a handful of carrots. Not bad right? You could knock out the fruits in breakfast and your 2 snacks. Then your veggies at lunch and dinner or lunch, snack and dinner. You will fill up with less calories and shed fat FAST!

What are your favorite fruits and veggies? Leave me a comment and tell me what they are.
