Consume a
sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables while staying within your energy
needs. Two
cups of fruits and 2½ cups of vegetables daily are recommended based on a 2,000
calorie level eating plan. 4 ½ cups a day equates to filling approximately half
of your plate with fruits and vegetables at every meal! Consume a variety of fruits and vegetables each week:
Within the recommended 2 cups of fruit a day, whole fruit — whether fresh,
canned, frozen or dried — is recommended rather than fruit juice to obtain an
adequate amount of fiber. Within the recommended 2½ cups of vegetables a day — and whether you choose fresh, canned or frozen — you should include a variety from the following five subgroups throughout the week: dark green vegetables (spinach, most greens), legumes (dry beans, chickpeas), starchy vegetables (corn, green peas), orange vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes) and other vegetables (tomatoes, green beans). |
