Wow, now that you've posed the question: none. How shameful. I skipped breakfast (very unusual for me). We went for doughnuts around 11:00am, so I didn't even eat lunch. Dinner was going to be vegetable heavy, but I took a very long nap and woke up realizing it was going to be really late by the time dinner was ready (involved roasted root vegetables and broccoli, peppers). So I sent DH out for pizza. Cheese pizza. Yikes. Terrible. No, not typical.

I made a smoothie this morning because I had a lot of nearing their end veggies and fruits (clearly because I'm good ACTUALLY eating them): One apple, one banana, two cups of spinach, cup of frozen mixed berries (+plus greek yogurt)

Lunch: I ate the carrots that my kid didn't eat off the plate I made for her with some hummus.

Dinner: I made enchiladas. So basically tomatoes.

I'm failing at the veggies but did take my multi-vitamin?

Half of my lunch plate was salad (lettuce, carrots, tomato, cukes). Dinner side of green beans. Pretty typical day.

Today:
Morning: shared an apple and banana with DH, and had a smoothie with kale, strawberries and blueberries.
Lunch: small salad with carrots, mushrooms, romaine, cucumber, spinach, etc. Then half a sandwich that included grape tomatoes.
Snack: a pear (with peanut butter)
Dinner: small salad, steamed cauliflower & broccoli. Then I ate some blueberries DS didn't want.
Dessert: raspberries

That's about average for me.

Pomegranate
Raspberries
Blueberries
Sweet potato
Tomato
Some peas off my son's dinner plate

1 Fuji Apple
Banana, baby spinach, frozen berries in smoothie
A little broccoli and carrots in homemade fried rice

I hate salad.

Home-canned peaches
Tomato soup
Spinach salad w/ tangerines & goat cheese
Roasted cauliflower

This was about normal for me, maybe a little less than usual.

This is my typical day of fruits and veggies:

about 3/4 cup berries in the morning, or a clementine.

Salad (mixed greens, 2-4 veggies) with lunch OR a 2 cups of homemade vegetarian soup with loads of veggies

apple or clementine for snack, sometimes both if I'm hungry

DH is vegetarian so our dinner entree is usually something like squash or sweet potatoes with something green (kale, green beans, brussels sprouts, broccoli), pasta with veg tomato sauce and a green veggie, or rice with stir fried veggies, couscous with mixed veggies, etc.

Half an apple
Handful of berries
butternut squash in a leftover homemade squash enchilada for lunch
Brussels sprouts
handful of green grapes

I tend to eat more veggies at work during the week when I get a big salad at lunch every day. I also tend to eat far more vegetables than fruits.

For breakfast I cooked up some fresh vegetable medley from trader joes (It has carrots, cabbage, peppers in it), plus a bunch of mushrooms I was afraid would go bad. It was about 2 cups before it cooked down. Added a couple of eggs.

For lunch I had leftover salmon and cauliflower (no one else in my house eats leftovers). There was quite a bit of cauliflower…2-3 cups. I mixed some chutney with mayo (gross sounding, I know, but so good) and topped the cauliflower with that.

Snack was a luna bar--no produce there!

For dinner we had pizza and a small side salad (mixed greens and orange peppers), salad was about a cup?

I had two clementines for dessert.

1/2 apple
Roasted Brussels sprouts
Veggies in soup I made
A few strawberries

Today I had a pear, about 15 blackberries, kale, celery, a medium sized salad (big handful of mixed greens, cucumber, broccoli, red bell pepper, and white balsamic vinaigrette). Pretty typical.

Someone mentioned chickpeas....isn't that a legume?

1/3 of a banana
About 15 large green grapes (....they are AMAZING right now)
2 slices of grilled tomato at Moby Dick

Somewhat typical.

Banana, salsa, lettuce, cabbage, guacamole.
