How much watermelon constitutes one serving? Cantaloupe? It's easier on things like bananas and apples, but what about other fruits? Thanks, Lily

www.fitday.com designates them as one-cup servings.

The nutritionist I had an appointment with a couple of weeks ago told me the same thing... 1 cup ='s a serving of cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon. Tracy A.

Does that go for veggies like lettuce too?

From the info I was given one serving of veggies is 1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw, and the list includes lettuce. However, the nutritionist I saw told me I could to 2 cups of lettuce as one serving, but only on lettuce. Hope that helps.
