Recommended Serving Sizes for the Vegetable Group

Aaah - the trusty Vegetable Group. You know what I love about this group? It's virtually fat free and most vegetables are super low in calories.

The few vegetables that you may wish to keep tabs on while losing weight include: corn, potatoes, yams, sweet potatoes - but please don't count these great super foods out of your diet.

All are packed with fiber which will keep you feeling full for a long time, and all offer super healthy benefits. To put things into perspective, a small baked potato contains a teensy 120 calories. See? You can still be a Spud Muffin while dieting!
