I will add a few more foods that we eat for our eating plan. Besides vegetables, an important food group is fruit. Here is a list of the fruit we eat.
Apple – 1 sm.
Apricot – 3 med.
Blueberries – ¼ cup
Cantaloupe – ¼ sm. or 1/8 large
Cherries – 9 med.
Cranberries – fresh 1 cup
Grapefruit – ½ sm.
Grapes (green) 10 reg.
Lemon – 1 sm.
Orange – 1 sm.
Peach – 1 sm.
Pineapple (fresh) – ¼ cup
Prunes – 2 med.
Strawberries – 12 sm.
Watermelon – 1 cup diced
Have three servings per day. We usually have a ½ grapefruit for breakfast. We often have two single wrapped prunes for morning snack as they are easy to eat while out running errands. Then we have a snack in the afternoon, such as an orange, baked apples, strawberries, etc. Fruit is a seasonal item although you can get most year round at a price. We sometimes get Walmart’s fresh cut up pineapple, cantaloupe, or watermelon. We don’t eat fruit in the evening. So there is another ingredient to our diet plan.
