3-4 servings—Vitamin C is the biggest contribution made by the fruit group, but fruits also contain good amounts of fiber and other nutrients. Many contain beta carotene, as well as other carotenes. One fruit serving equals 1 medium fruit, a half cup juice, or 1 cup chopped fruit. Once again, only half a cup of juice should be counted toward your fruit allotment per day. If you chop your fruit, make sure you eat it right away because the vitamin content decreases with exposure to air. Fruit is also a great snack and some, like the banana, even come in their own handy, biodegradable wrappers! If your blood sugar tends to rise quickly and then come crashing down, though, it’s better not to eat fruit by itself. (The sugar content may wreak havoc on your blood glucose levels.) Eat your fruit along with some nonfat cottage cheese or some high-fiber crackers.
Average calorie amount per fruit serving: 60
Figuring Your Daily Protein Requirement
1. Determine your weight.
2. Multiply your weight by .36.
3. The result equals grams of protein you need each day.
Example: Weight = 110 1b.
110 X .36 = 39.6 (rounded
to 40) Grams of protein needed per day
= 40
*79\29\2*
