Hi!

I was wondering about something... Where can I find information on how many servings of such and such you need a day... I don't want the old pyramid thing... anyone have anything other than the pyramid?

Well when I did LA Weight Loss, it was good to have:

2 servings of protein
2 servings of starch
2-3 servings of fruit
3-4 servings of veggies
1 serving of dairy
1 serving of a fat such as almonds or butter

They updated the pyramid and there's some good info on the USDA site mypyramid.gov. It's more reasonable than before. I find a lot of good info at
calorieking.com It was started for helping diabetics but I find it very useful for weight loss and general good health.

There's a nice chart of food servings for the South Beach Diet on the SB Forum here at: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56861

Also, I know Weight Watchers has healthy eating guidelines that deal with servings for certain kinds of foods.
