I was scratching my head a bit as to the the right amount of fruits and veggie that I should eat per day. The American MyPlate advocates one should fill half of each of your dinner plate with fruits and vegetables. Still I want to know how much is a cup of fruit or 1/2 cup of veggie.
Here is the chart from: http://www.fruitsandveggiesmorematters.org/how-much-do-i-need. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, for a moderately active woman aged 19-51, one should eat 2 cups of fruits and 3 cups of vegetables. For a moderately active man, one should eat 2 cups of fruits and 3 1/2 cups of vegetables. For people who need to control their blood sugar better, I would recommend cutting up their fruit and eat them regularly during the day.
