HOnestly, 3 cups of veggies isn't a ton--it's like a heaping cereal bowl full. In the course of a day, it's not excessive.

Word. :D If anyone's having trouble with planning such... just add a 1/2 a cup here and there throughout your meals and snacks or if you're like me and you love mixing everything up at one sitting(ie: I usually mix a medley of veggies with my whole wheat pasta. Yes, I said medley. HA! Not only does it make the meal a lot more filling, but you'll definitely be on the crapper right after. Good stuff! HA! Veggies such as zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, etc Another thing that's good are omelettes!), then it's really not difficult.

I bought a ton of fruit yesterday, too--a 5lb bag of apples, 6lbs of oranges, about 12 bananas, 3 pears, a bag of cranberries and a lb of strawberries.

RE: Veggies..

Some of the veggies bought are also just for TG prep/meals so those can't be touched..

Just wanted to say it is dang hard to get celery sticks cut in a way that they fit in a measuring cup, as I just found out! I ended up with 2 inch long matchsticks...about 20 of them!! Equaling 3/4 cup.

Well, you could call it a zoo--we're all a bunch of animals over here. :D I'm not going to be eating all that fruit by myself. That's for 4 people. Man, would I ever be on the crapper all day if it was, though!!! :D

That must be some thin celery then. I don't know how you can fit more than five or six stalks in one cup.

I posted this bonus on Thursday, so you knew about it before shopping..lol. Also, veggies are relatively cheap if you get them on sale. I can get a bag of frozen veggies for under $1 on sale. I got them for 69cents a bag this week.
 
I took my stalks, cut them into thirds lenghtwise and then into thirds widthwise to make matchsticks. I always cut the celery into thin matchsticks, but usually leave them long...but they had to fit into the cup! I like celery thinned up, beacuse I don't get as many of the strings in my mouth at once, and I don't like the strings!

Ah...I see. I will only eat celery if it's chopped and cooked in soup or a casserole or something. I despise raw celery--no matter what you put on it. I'm with you re the strings! :ack2:

Boring veggies for me today. MIL normally makes a giant bowl of veggies for my part of dinner, but tonight there was just chicken (and icky canned straw mushrooms, but I don't eat those). So I had to scrounge around, and what I came up with was:

- a big tomato (1.25 cups chopped) and 3/4 C of fresh (uncooked) salsa over refried beans.
- a can of beets (I like beets, everyone else hates beets, I get to eat all the beets!) = 3.5 half-cup servings (per the label) = 1.75C

For a total of 3.75 cups. No fruit for me today, which is unusual. I'm way under my normal calories for the day, and feeling way overstuffed, but I think that was a side effect of last week, when I was eating more than I wanted to hit my targets.
 
:rolleyes:

Yer such a brat Kimberly..

:p lol
