deftona Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 But fruit is more fun... I agree! Why wouldn't we count fruit too? There are plenty of phytonutrients in fruit and it's just as important. And what about beans/legumes? Are they vegetables? I think we should include all freggies.

I don't know about legumes, I can't find a straight answer on google if it's a veggie or not. Peanuts are considered legumes too, but I don't thing they count as a veggie...

Peanuts are considered legumes too, but I don't thing they count as a veggie... Things like chickpeas and black beans usually count but only as one portion per day maximum, regardless of how many different kinds of beans you eat. Peanuts don't count though I don't think? So beans, yay or nay? Quote If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested. Profile picture credit : NF's resident super artist - NinjaKitten Link to comment
Raze Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I say nay on legumes since they are that grey area and we has freggies so yea. Plus for people trying to keep carbs low like me beans have A TON of carbs in them....

Raze Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Got a question on mixed veggie mixes. Say I eat 3 servings of mixed veggies (carrots, green beans, zuccini, ect.) can I count all 3 or does it only count as one?

Say I eat 3 servings of mixed veggies (carrots, green beans, zuccini, ect.) can I count all 3 or does it only count as one? It has to be 80g of a single portion. So if there is less than 80g of anything in the mix, it doesn't count as a portion at all. If you have 80g of carrots, 50g of beans and 70g of zucchini it's only one portion. If it's 80g carrots, 80g green beans and 50g zucchini, that's two portions. 1 Quote If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested.

Well I guess if it looks fairly balanced in all three ways and you have 240g of veg then you can safely assume there is 80g of each. But you'd need to have 240g to be sure. That's a lot of veg! 1 Quote If it's not siesta or fiesta, I'm not interested. Profile picture credit : NF's resident super artist - NinjaKitten Link to comment
Terah Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 ok well damn, most of my veggies wont count then since I'm not going to pick out all the veggies and measure them individually (most of my veggies are frozen mixed veggies I can steam whenever).That just doesn't seem fair to me. Why don't we say a 'mixed veggie' is a single type of veggie? The challenge is about eating more veggies, and this IS a convenient way to eat them. 1 Quote Doodlie for life, Pancake by choice Current Challenge Spoiler Challenge 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 Challenges 2017: 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 Challenges 2018: 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, Challenges 2019: 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 Challenges 2020: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 Challenges 2023: 46, 47 Link to comment

Shello Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm not really sure how much 80 grams come out to be. I guess I normally measure my veg in volume. But are we counting the raw veg or after cooking? If we count after cooking but I want to make sure I have at least 80 I need to account for it before cooking.. but then not sure how much extra I would have to cook.

This is a great resource that shows you what 80g of veg or fruit looks like.

My veggie steamers have like 343G of veggies and I will eat an entire bag with a meal. and each one has like 3-4 different veggies in them. I think based on the ratio of the different veggies in the mix, if there is a sufficient ratio of any individual veg and the total grams is enough for multiple servings then 1 for each type that there would reasonably be 80g should count. That's part of the reason you eat mixed veggies is for the variety right? 1 Quote Race: Amazonian Ogre Princess | Class: Ranger | Profession: SuperHero | Affiliation: Doodlie and Pancake for Life Respawn Challenge Arcs: 2021 | 2022 I am not saying I am Wonder Woman.
