For More Information Boost Your Vegetables and Fruit Intake Canada s Food Guide recommends that children and youth eat 4 to 8 servings of vegetables and fruit per day. Adults should eat 7 to 10 servings of vegetables and fruit per day. Studies show that eating the recommended amounts of vegetables and fruit reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke. Vegetables and fruit contain protective substances such as vitamins, minerals and fibre, as well as plant compounds called phytochemicals. Did you know People who eat more vegetables are less likely to gain weight. Each vegetable or fruit has its own unique package of health protective nutrients and plant compounds. Eat many different vegetables and fruits to get them all. Brightly coloured vegetables and fruits tend to be higher in vitamins, minerals and other healthy plant compounds. Try spinach, carrots, cantaloupe, berries and many others. All vegetables and fruit, except olives and avocados, are low in fat. Even then, the oils found in olives and avocados are heart healthy fats. Many vegetables and fruit cost less than a bag of chips, a chocolate bar or most soft drinks! Developed by Registered Dietitians What is a serving size according to Canada s Food Guide? One Food Guide Serving of a vegetable or fruit is equal to: 1 medium fresh vegetable or fruit, or roughly the size of a tennis ball ½ cup (125 ml) of raw or cooked vegetables or fruits, or roughly the size of a hockey puck 1 cup (250 ml) of mixed fruit or vegetable salad, or roughly the size of a baseball ¼ cup (60 ml) dried fruit, or roughly the size of two golf balls ½ cup (125 ml) of 100% pure fruit or vegetable juice What is a healthy plate? At least half of your plate should be vegetables and fruit. Nutrition Services Community Health Services Fibre Scoreboard Diets higher in dietary fibre are linked with many health benefits, including lower risk of heart disease and colon cancer. Also, high fibre foods may help you to feel full longer, which can help in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Eating a variety of foods that contain fibre, such as grain products, vegetables, fruits and legumes, will put you on your way to meeting your daily fibre needs! How much fibre do I need? According to Canadian and American guidelines, children (over 4 years) and adults should aim for at least 25 grams of fibre per day 1. Most Canadians eat about half the recommended amount of fibre. However, this can be improved by eating more whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruit. 1 Source: Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrates, Fibre, Fat, Protein and Amino Acids (Macronutrients), (2002).

In the next week... Be aware of hunger versus appetite Keep a daily food record Check your breakfast, lunch and supper are they a meal or no meal Assess your food intake using the checklist Set a SMART goal about when, what or how to eat to manage your hunger
My SMART Goal My goal: To eat a balanced lunch meal on the days I work. Specific: How will I do it? Measurable: How will I measure it? Achievable: Is this something I can do? Can I keep doing this? Rewarding: How will I feel rewarded? Time Frame: When I want to achieve this? Add a vegetable or fruit to my lunch so that the meal includes at least 3 food groups. I will record it on my Managing Hunger Tracking form. I already eat 1-2 servings of Grain Products and a Meat & Alternative serving so I just need to add 1 food group serving. I will feel less hungry so I can control my snacking in the afternoon. I will start with 2 days this week. After 4 weeks, I will have a balanced lunch 4 days a week.
