Does it still count if I had 7 glasses of water and a smoothie?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep!!!! Smoothies have ice in them so that counts as a glass of water 👍👍👍
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter Absolutely! Anything consisting of liquids counts although I suggest if you consume a caffeinated drink like coffee or green tea, to drink a glass of water afterwards. Caffeine can dehydrate the...
-
lenaaaap I have to disagree with darkchocolatepeanutbutter! Not anything consisting liquids count. You can't drink coke or something . It only counts water and unsweetened tee. But a smoothie is also ok...
Do lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on a sandwich count as a serving of fruits and vegetables?
-
bubblegem Well it depends on the amount of each maybe you could have 2 sandwiches and mix up the veggies on each one!
-
nikkipayne21 I think it does. I mean you're putting those vegetables in your body.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians @cristianpereira - if all 3 amount to about a cup, or a fist-full, then yes! It counts as 1 serving!
How i can avoid eating snacks?
-
lauren I keep my water bottle on me at all times! I think I read somewhere that when we crave salty snacks, we actually need water and could be dehydrated
-
emmie Eating snacks isn't necessarily bad for you- as long as they are healthy and a small size. :)
-
DietID_TeamDietitians For late night snacking, I get a cup of herbal tea instead so it fulfills my craving to consume something flavorful, makes me feel warm, but doesn't have caffeine so I won't stay up too late.
I had a set back today by eating a really high carb, high calorie dinner...I feel awful how bad will it set me back?
-
davisaa Don't worry too much about it, the first step of a healthy diet is being aware of what you're eating. Plus slip ups always happen! Just focus on how you can make your next meal healthy, and...

nikkipayne21 Aww thanks! I'm going to try to do better and resist my temptations. It's so difficult.

Diet Plan?
can someone help me out? i need a diet plan to cut down flab. i already am working on a workout routine but would also like a healthy diet to get and maintain muscular body
-
healthyamateurinprogress You need to know that you need to eat per day 3 portions of veggies (each portion is equal to 200g of veggies raw or cooked)and 2 fruits. Added to that 4 portions of carbs which are each equivalent...
-
emmie I wouldn't really recommend following a strict diet plan, I would advise just striving to eat healthier overall. This puts less pressure on yourself and helps you create a healthy lifestyle instead...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians I agree with @emmie that putting a lot of pressure on yourself to have a strict plan oftentimes backfires. Instead, it's about making small changes and celebrating little victories. Generally...
I know alcohol isn't good for you at all, but which drink would you recommend to drink on a night out?
-
dizzydumby Really? I would've thought that to be one of the worst 😱 thank you 🙈
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Great question! I usually opt for a clear alcohol with soda water (no tonic or soda) and fresh herbs and cucumber if I want a cocktail. If you're opting for wine, opt for a more dry wine, and...
I need a healthy, filling, and easy to make meal. Any suggestions?
-
emmie Caprese salad!
-
chasketti That's a good idea, I'll have to try it! Hopefully I'll be able to find good tomatoes, they're rare unless you grow them yourself.
-
emmie That's true. Maybe try fruit stands? That's where I get most of my fruits and veggies if I can't grow them myself.
can I eat a 0%fat yogurt without sugar as a dessert?😬
-
annefood For sure @paumolist ! I love plain yogurt with berries or slices banana in it for dessert. Great idea!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians definitely!! Plain yogurt with fruit is a delicious dessert. I keep dates in my pantry for yogurt because they don't go bad if stored in an air tight container.
