I have a question about points...

  • I see that 1/2 cup of OJ is 1 point, so is that considered one serving of the fruit and vegetables requirement? I'm not sure if this small amount would be one serving. Anyone know?
  • Yes, that would be considered a fruit for the day, however, you are better off eating an orange for the same number of points because the orange will keep you full longer.

    Good Luck!
  • According to the government, 1/2 c orange juice is one serving of fruit.

    Just because 1/2c of juice is one point doesn't necessarily mean it's one serving of fruit, though! Think of strawberries, which are 0 points for a cup, but the food pyramid puts it at 1/2 cup for a serving size.
