eating better, not butter

Having a degree in nutrition is no guarantee for having healthy eating habits. It simply means I feel more guilt about being a food junkie. For this reason, I have decided that my Primary Prevention Project (which will span a period of 7 months) will be based on meeting two of the Healthy People 2010 nutrition goals. These are: 1) eat at least 2 fruit servings daily and 2)eating a minimum of 3 vegetables servings daily. In the next post I will describe some of the benefits of eating at least 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Also, I will give you examples of serving sizes in case you may also want to keep track of your daily intake. During the next seven months I will keep you posted on how I'm meeting my goals! Feel free to post any advice you may have for me!
