Lorna from Canada Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Today I made a commitment to have 7 veg and just 3 fruit everyday. I'm going to log it here (well, we'll see but I'll start anyway!) to keep track Today: onion, mushroom, pepper hash with breakfast = 3 veg 1/2 orange with lunch = 1/2 fruit grapes and mixed nuts = 1 1/2 fruit (I put raisins and coconut in my mixed nuts) fish tacos - mayo, lettuce, peppers, onions, salsa, cilantro, avocado = 5 veg banana = 1 fruit Great start!

Lorna from Canada Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 eggs and ham for breakfast - no veggie hash which is my mainstay for adding veg. Oh what to do, what to do banana for bkft too - 1 fruit lots of carrot, celery, cucumber sticks with red pepper cashew dip with lunch - 3 veg (whew - close call!) broccoli, bean, mushroom and onions in shrimp stirfry served on cauli rice. Alrighty - nailed it - that's 5 - got my 7+ will have some fruit - maybe an apple? to round things off. This 7/3 thing is brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorna from Canada Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ended up having Buffalo Cauli 'wings" as a snack last night. Dinner wasn't holding us. So - Lots of veg yesterday! Today - boiled eggs for bkft as we were travelling between our home and our Airstream. Ate an orange too. 1 fruit giant, hearty slaw for lunch with a roasted turkey breast - lots of different veg in there - cabbage, kale, carrot, onion, strawberries, and a bit of fruit - raisins 4 veg at least dinner - salmon, oven fries and beans and broccoli . And an apple. That's 3 more plus a fruit. So, day 3 of 7/3 in the bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorna from Canada Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Day 5 of 7/3 challenge bkft - potato, onion, mushroom, pepper hash 4 veg. I'm only counting 1 potato per day as a veg - too easy to overstep otherwise orange - 1 fruit lunch - homemade beef soup - tomato, carrot, onion, mushrooms, beans. I used the braising liquid from a beef rib dinner from the weekend, whir it up with a hand blender and use that for the soup base. No waste, great taste and packed with veg you can't see My 2 cup serving of soup I am counting as 2 veg small punnet of raspberries = wooden tasting from California - I don't know why I bother! dinner - steak, sweet potato over fries and a huge serving of multiveg coleslaw - probably 3 cups worth. I blended frozen raspberries into mayonnaise with fresh squeeze of orange juice and a squidge of lemon juice + a dollop of coconut cream I had in the fridge to make the dressing - outstanding! success again!

Lorna from Canada Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 day 6 - another hashless morning so vegetable have been a little tight today... banana with breakfast eggs As I am recounting this, I realize I've had a completely off-template day! I had my coaching group from 10 to 11:30 then neglected to eat lunch completely. Instead, I had a couple of slices of ham and a handful of seeds. I ate more wooden California raspberries then didn't bother with anything else. I was prepping for tonight's dinner - we're doing a platter so I made a salmon spread and baba ganosh - tested lots of that while I was making it so I suppose there is a veg in there somewhere... 1 veg then I forgot I'd already eaten a banana and had another one. weird... I made spiced nuts for the platter and tested those. I am completely deficited in veg though. And food too! It's like my food intake today is solely derived from a cruise through Costco. Dinner - well, the platter will be filled with carrots, celery and peppers. We're also making an asian inspired air fried brussel sprout and I'll easily have 2 portions of that. Well - we've had dinner and we've managed to stuff ourselves full of vegetable - carrots, celery, cucumbers, cauliflower with baba ganosh, and salmon spread. And easily 3 servings of the sprouts. So, top loading counts, right? A low food day but we will be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca001 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I forgot to count mine this week! A bit like you, some days I eat a lot of veg and others I seem to just forget them. I also made soup this week and I’ve been having a bowl before my meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorna from Canada Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Day 8 - off to a very slow start - eggs, almonds and orange by 2PM - not a vegetable in sight yet! Late lunch - carrot and celery sticks with roasted red pepper dip - 2 veg lamb shanks with vegetable laced gravy and potato - 2 veg Brussel sprouts and buffalo cauli - 4 veg Day 9 - nope - can't remember! I'm sure it was pretty good but darn it all! Day 10 - eggs and orange vietnamese brussel sprouts - 2 veg roasted chicken with roasted potatoes, beans, onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms. Deliciousness - 4-5 veg in total. banana I'm doing really, really well on the 2-3 pieces of fruit per day - that's a big shift for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorna from Canada Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Day 11 - eggs and banana lunch - ham, carrot and celery sticks with babaganoush - 3 veg dinner - a "clean out the fridge" burrito bowl extravaganza - leftover roast chicken, salsa, 1/2 avocado, garlicky kale, cauli rice, sweet potato oven fried cubes, mango (red pepper and onion) salsa, fresh cilantro and spring onions - I think that was 7 veg on its own and one fruit! Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorna from Canada Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Day 13 eggs and orange for bkft - HA - I see a pattern. It was a weird day in that we had a ton of chaotic things going on in our house and neither of us ended up having a meal all day. We were grazing as our hunger hit us. Over the course of the day I ate: an orange and a banana and a handful of raisins - 3 fruit carrot, celery, pea pods and cucumber with a lovely big bowl of babaganoush - 5 veg regular and sweet potato fries - 2 veg there wasn't much protein - eggs and some ham fats were a handful of nuts with the raisins. So, not a great day meal template-wise but good from a compliant food perspective and I got all my veg in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
