Daily record of what blue swayers are eating

[Bluedust]

yes sure!!! I ate TONS of frozen blueberries (I LOVE BLUEBERRIES) when I was TTC with my 3rd boy.

Okay thanks sounds exciting to hear tou conceived your son eafing it as i normally dont really eat it much but i thought of stocking the freezer to add on my oats and yoghurt etc. And funny enough i loved the taste of them.

yes that's exactly what I did - blueberry oatmeal, blueberry yogurt, and blueberries on my cereal! Every day for a couple years there because we had a Costco membership then and Costco had cheap and perfect blueberries in the freezer.

Snacks option - blueberries, thick vanilla yogurt and chia seeds - good for blue??

Am kinda alternating this with cereal and whole milk every other nights

Does that sound ok?? X

I prefer you guys do chia seeds no more than 2-3 days a week. I don't totally trust them due to the chemistry in them.

but yes otherwise great! Very much what my bedtime snack was when I was TTC DS 3!

Thought id ask in this thread as it might benefit other blue swayers. Im just not sure im doing the 9-12 serves of fruit and veggie correct so please advise if the following daily example looks good or not:

I have been drinking 1 glass coconut water, 1 glass v8 veggie juice, 1 glass pineapple juice so i count these each as 1 serving so 3 servings here.
I usually have 1 carrot
Celecry sticks
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Dark green salad
Apple
Orange
Frozen berries (handful) - is this counted as 1 serving?
Banana
I also have veggies with dinner (potatoes for example)
I dont eat these on their own but just to see if my serving sizes/amount looks correct? So im counting each fruit or veggie as 1 serving is that how its done? I also cook with onions usually but i dont count these.

Here's the thing - as long s you're eating more fruit and veg than you were, that's all good. We have the 9 serving as a goal to reach for but I don't want you guys to get too hung up on the serving sizes themselves. Fruits and Vegetables Serving Sizes | American Heart Association I think you're doing great doing exactly what you are doing already and let's not worry about if we are always meeting the strictest definition of serving size...you're eating a variety of fruit and veg and that's the important thing. Keep up the great work!

Great thanks once again. This is certainly way more then what i was eating only 1 fruit and 2 veggies a day compared to now so makes me feel good about my sway attempt.

No limit when using for cooking in dietary amounts - my only concern is if you're having spiced tea, having 1-3 cups a day of some kinds of spice tea will start to have medicinal qualities. (particularly mint and cinnamon teas may sway pink) So I would have any type of spice tea no more than 2-3 cups per week, and then dietary amounts of herbs, spices, and chilis are all fine. You just don't eat enough in cooking to amount to anything.

Good that I asked about spices. Thank you.
