Update on Fruits/Vegetable Serving Sizes

It can be a challenge to get all of the healthy stuff in, so Rosalie found the following friendlier serving size information from the American Cancer Society and government sites using the the USDA Food Pyramid:

1/2 cup of fruit

1 medium piece of fruit
1/4 cup of dried fruit
3/4 cup (6 ounces) of 100% fruit or vegetable juice
1 cup of leafy vegetables
1/2 cup of cooked or raw vegetables

Trying to visualize the serving sizes? This may help:

1 medium apple or orange: the size of a tennis ball
1 cup vegetables or fruit: the size of a baseball
1 medium potato: the size of a computer mouse
1 cup of lettuce: 4 leaves
