Thank you for starting this thread . Haven't been posting but making an effort to eat 10 a day and have been achieving at least 10( some days more) on all but 2 days. I have brought a wider variety of veg of different colours and the same with fruit.
I find its easier in warm weather when salad always tastes better especially when home grown.

Fruittea

Not doing very well today. Sausage and egg for breakfast 0.
Lunch out with friends - halloumi and squash wrap with a tiny side salad 2 at most. And feel too stuffed to have my usual dessert and fruit. Don't usually do much bread at lunch!
Dinner is planned to be seared scallops with rice but I think it will now be with a stir fry medley of broccoli, courgette and peas. So only 5 veg for me today unless I can squeeze down some fruit. I'll try to get back on track tomorrow.
We should all be feeling very chilled Oldtractor.

I am still falling into the sub 10 camp but I am definitely eating more as a result of this challenge. I have just changed tonight's menu from kedgeree to pilaff as I can get a lot more veg in a pilaff.

breakfast berries - 1
salad leaves, cherry toms, raw mushrooms, cucumber, spring onion at lunch - 2
strawberries - 1
pilaff - 3
broccoli - 1

8 in total
