I had 12 oz of mango, at least a cup (cooked) of mushrooms and onions, a cup of blueberries in my smoothie, and small french fries. Nine servings all told.

I only see 4 there! 1 serving for the mango, 2 for the mushrooms and onions, 1 for the blueberries (if it was 1/2 cup). French fries don't count as veggies! but thanks for the laugh

[rubberlegs]

The mango was 12 oz, therefore 3 servings. One cup of blueberries, therefore 2 servings. Technically, fries are still a veg... but no, I wouldn't count them towards my WW 5 servings.

[rubberlegs]

You quoted me before I had a chance to edit (about the blueberries).

[modkittn]

Well technically potatoes are vegetables yes, but not as far as WW is concerned (I wouldn't say that FRIES are a vegetable though... ). In fact, if you just had a baked potato, you couldn't count it as a vegetable on WW.

I never go by measured weight for veggies/fruit, always by volume since WW doesn't have servings listed by weight. 1 cup of leafy green vegetables = 1 serving. 1/2 cup of all other types of veggies/fruits = 1 serving. Just make sure you're getting enough! (which you did yesterday and I just couldn't see in your post!)

[rubberlegs]

Just because WW lists one whole mango as 3 pts doesn't mean it's only 1 serving of fruit. They only list it that way so that it's easier to count points.

Edit: nevermind... I guess you see what I mean by now.

[rubberlegs]

I was told that we could count potatoes.
Though I don't remember who it was that told me that...

[modkittn]

I've been told by every leader I've had (about 6 of them over the past 9 years) that potatoes don't count. They are too starchy and don't offer the same types of nutrients as other vegetables.

It doesn't have anything to do with the point value, but the volume you consume. So if your mango was 1 cup of mango, then it was 2 servings of fruit. If it was 1 1/2 cups, then it was 3 servings, etc etc.

[rubberlegs]

What about sweet potatoes?

[modkittn]

Well I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong.

Potatoes are on the Core vegetable list. I've never counted them though and still won't just because I never have and things have worked out pretty well haha. I still think they are a bit starchy and I'd rather count other fruits/vegetables as vegetables.

EDIT: You still can't count fries though I bet!

[rubberlegs]

Whew... you scared me!
Well, it's not like I eat at McD's all that often anyways.
