I think I eat a lot, but this amount of fruit and veggie would be
excesssive for me. I might have one, rarely two, pieces of fruit daily,
and a salad or cooked greens with my evening meal. I eat a lot of
protein: five or six eggs and a pound or so of meat or fish. My teatime
snack is a couple of bites of cold meat or a handful of nuts. I don't
stay satiated without the protein and fat.
