Every month I'll be doing a challenge to incorporate better healthy eating habits into my diet. I invite you to join me in whatever way you can.
February Challenge
To eat 5 servings of fruit & vegetables daily.
Why: To incorporate more nutrients naturally into the diet (i.e. not in supplement form), and to show that it's not hard (and not expensive). The website Fruits & Veggies Matter will tell you how many cups of fruit & vegetables you need based on your age, gender & activity level.

How
This is how "I" am going to do it.
A salad with lunch - 2 servings of vegetables (at least)
Salad with dinner or a side of vegetables - 1 serving (at least)
Fruit with breakfast & post-workout or afternoon snack - 2 servings (at least)
A serving for vegetables is: 1/2 cup cut up veggie, raw, cooked, frozen, or canned (looks like the bulb part of a light bulb) 1 cup leafy greens
I'll be updating i{ate}A{pie}.net regularly with my progress, and salad recipes from other bloggers, so join me! Blog about it, or just incorporate this into your month as you see fit.
