Thread: NEW for May! The old "5-a Day"!

Been doing alright with 5 a day. Salads, spinach, strawberries, raspberries, and bing cherries.

Beachfox, what is a pawpaw? Just wondering...some kind of fruit? Always looking for something new.

Has anyone tried figs? Heard they were low carb? Never had one.

Heya Biddy22 The above url is a paw paw - a tropical fruit with orange or red flesh. Can't think of any similar fruits except to say its sort of in a melon family? Yes - have fresh organic figs regularly - absolutely divine! Particularly grilled (sorry broiled) lightly with goats fetta - OMG!!!

hdyhouse eats GOOD!

I had a few cherries at breakfast, some leftovers at lunch:cauli salad and broc-n-cheese. I ate a small apple for snack, then a big salad with dinner. That's 5, or close enough!

Thanks for the info! I didn't realize that pawpaw was papaya. Learn something new every day.
Today, few grapes, and spinach so far.

Haven't been doing really well with my veggies. Bad, girl. But I did manage to get in a ton of veggies before my two day absense from them so now I must get in a ton for the two days after.

Started out with brussel sprouts for lunch and will be having a big salad for supper and raw cauliflower and broccoli for snack.

Well - hey - Biddy22 - now you can speak Aussie eh! Actually - its been a bit of a giggle for me lately too - I was in a meeting yesterday - and I said 'o maaan - what do you guys think you are doing here!' and everyone just LOOKED at me and said 'where the hell have you been?' Heee hee - reading too much of HeyKims journal I think!!!!

Lunch - just nuked a couple of field mushrooms filled with chopped red and yellow cherry tomatoes, pepper, fresh basil and parsley and shaved parmesan cheese on top - was excellent!

Re figs - o yep - should have qualified/quantified that - my plan only allows 1 medium fresh fig. But boy! its worth it!!

Ha! Beachfox - that cracks me up! I feel so worldly now!

The rest of my day was broccoli, bamboo, and salad. Not bad.

uh...hdyhouse....that is stretching it just a tad!

I'm gonna need to stretch myself here! I had a big dinner salad when we went out to eat this evening: topped with cheese and spicy shrimp...mmmmm! Oh, and can we count the pickles and onions on my cheeseburger? That's it for today! Me and the "salad dog" will be sure to have alot of salad tomorrow. (She loves it, crazy girl!)

We were out and about all day. I stayed on plan, but did not include f's and v's in that plan. A few onions rings are not gonna stretch into 5 servings of anything. Oh, well!

I was out of veggies (other than salad), except for canned. So I had a big (salmon)salad at lunch and another just green salad with dinner. But, I've been to the grocery store now, so I have some alternatives. Later!
