oooh.. and they are alphabetized! um... but you don't have the serving suggestion and frequency.. I think that is important... lest someone like me take license to eat dark chocolate every day... um and maybe all day.

Besides, I still don't know the frequency/ serving suggestion size for pomegranates and kiwi sections.

Hey Nelie, thanks for posting all of these together!

What do you think about posting the recommended amounts per day/week? I didn't want to be redundant in posting the foods again with the amounts, but didn't want to ask you to go through the trouble of editing your post.

I know the amounts of the original 14, but don't have a clue about the 'new' ones.

**Edited to add: Jayde! We were typing the exact same thing at the exact same time! And yes, I've been eating a square of dark chocolate EVERYDAY! Uh oh....**

I was going to post the amounts but I didn't have my book with me. I do have the amounts from book 2. If you have the amounts handy, either post them here or PM me and I'll add them

I'm only missing kiwi and pomegrantes. From filling in the list, it seems like if we went with the recommendations we would be too full to eat anything else.

What an excellent list! I admit I haven't been as active with SuperFoods because I haven't compiled a list to shop with and reference, but I'm going to print this and stick it on my refrigerator.

I also thought it would be cool to have a poster/painting of all the superfoods that I could keep in my kitchen for a visual reference.

It is too much food for me.. especially considering your point about not being able to eat anything else... variety is important even if they are not super foods.

I use the serving/ frequency as a guide. But like I mentioned on the super foods thread, if I eat a little of something.. I count it.. a toss of some blueberries in my yogurt might not be the recommended cup.. but I count it as 1 superfood just the same.

So what is up with the kiwi and pomegranates? It frustrates me not having the second book.

Just wanted to add that the turkey/chicken breast serving size is 3 to 4 oz three to four times per week, but not more than 4 oz per serving. I just bought a food scale last night for just that purpose...weighing my turkey!
