5 A Day??

Hi there, I was scolded a bit at my 6 month post-op dietican's appointment for not eating more fruits and veggies. She said 5 a day!! but I was lead to believe that protein came first, then fruits and veggies are a lower priority... I maybe get in 1 or 2 a day. How about everyone else??? Sue H.

I have only been getting in 2 a day, cause I eat my protein first too. Tammy

Uh, yeah... I wish I could say that I was getting 5 a day... How the heck can we manage that? I SOMETIMES get in a whole banana a day... other times it's only a half. I do eat 1-2 servings a day of veggies (usually some salad and then some cooked veggies with my meat at dinner). I wonder what she considers a serving size to be though??? I eat MAYBE a spoonful of veggies as one serving. Maybe I really need to meet with my dietician again. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ Keep up the good work by the way! Lots of love, Dawn
