Fruits and Veggies

I was confused about my homework this weekend. I thought that I must have to seven to fourteen combination of fruits and vegetables. So, this morning I told my husband that I need to go to the store and buy more variety of fruits and vegetables aside from the fruits and veggies that we already have.

I normally buy fruits and vegetables every Wednesday because that is where every store have their " specials" meaning cheaper prize. But anyway, my confusion lead me to the store and spent more than $35 for fruits and veggies. Which is very irritating because these fruits and veggies go on sale every Wednesday :( that I could spent less. Anyway, as I was unloading my grocery bag I put all the stuff that I bought and took pictures of it. Also, I called my husband and told him that all of these fruits and veggies I must consume it in one day. I my self can't believe it because that is a lot. My husband said " wow thats a lot!". No one ever eat that much of fruits and veggies everyday. ( I just measured a cup of every thing :) a lot easier).

Breakfast omelet

So for breakfast, I made omelet. I used four egg whites and one whole egg, 1 cup of chopped celery, and 1 cup of finely chopped carrot and onion. It turned out delicious and as my hubby said " weird but good". In this was I got 2 kinds of veggies and 2 kinds of fruits an orange and an apple. So I need five more combination of fruits and veggies right? 

So for lunch time, I separated my fruits and veggies. I cooked the bakchoy with 1 small can of sardines so that we can have some protein. After eating all of these made me so full, and I was thinking to my self that I don't want to eat dinner tonight.

After lunch, I started my homework and the first question was way off than what I thought. 

" Task: select one day during the week to achieve the U.S. Dietary Guidelines of eating a combination of seven to thirteen fruits and/or vegetables daily.  Incorporate these foods into your regular diet."

I thought I have to eat in one day those 7 to 13 combination of fruit... I guess I just don't understand the question.

Okay, the more variety of colors of your fruits and vegetables in meal is a good practice. Also, use fats that are good for your heart like olive oil or canola oil. Avoid trans fats because it increases your bad cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease.
