How "well" do you eat?

I have been trying to eat well, but I think my diet really lacks in vegetables. I try to make up for it with a V8, but it has me a bit worried. Do you think you eat "well?" When researching it, I usually find stuff like this:

"Eat a variety of foods to get all the nutrients you need. Recommended daily servings include 6-11 servings of breads and grains, two to four servings of fruit, four or more servings of vegetables, four servings of dairy products, and three servings of protein sources (meat, poultry, fish, eggs or nuts). Use fats and sweets sparingly."


Am I the only one who thinks this is impossible?

Re: How "well" do you eat?

I am a veggie and fruit eater mostly, it's the protein I have the problem with. Just make sure you do your best and take your vitamins.

Re: How "well" do you eat?

I'm a fan of the V-8 fusion. I also eat alot of fruit- but the vegetables I am sorely lacking otherwise.

Just make sure you take your prenatals!

Re: How "well" do you eat?

I have a really hard time eating "well," especially based on the description you posted. I find it is a ton of food! I just do the best I can. So far I've only gained 3lbs, which I have no idea how is possible. My doc just says to do what I can, and make sure to take my vitamin consistently.

Re: How "well" do you eat?

since I am pregnant my diet is horrible. before I cooked all the time very healthy, lots of veggies,lean meats, fruit for dessert. now i'm so tired we take out a LOT, I barely eat veggies, I eat fruit still but not as much

Re: How "well" do you eat?

i cant say I have been eating very healthy. I eat whatever I feel like having at the moment. I try to get my fruits and veggies in but I can def be doing a better job at it.

I also load up on the sugar bc I am obsessed with gingerale and decaf iced tea
