Daily recommended fruits and veggies... how much is too much?!
Question: I have maybe 12-15 servings of fruits and vegetables just about every day. I eat plenty of the other food that is needed and I get plenty of exercise, but it seems that I've developed a nervous eating habit - but only fruits and veggies... I know that sounds silly but I'm always munching on something and now I got people telling me it can't be good for me to have that much fruits and veggies.
What do you all think?

I think you're simply blessed that you want to munch on fruits and veggies all day instead of sweets and salty snacks. As long as you are not dousing them in butter or sugar I think it is perfectly normal, and extremely healthy.
Well considering most Americans are eating things like chips and cookies in excess, you are very lucky and healthy. maybe try to eat more veggies instead of fruits so much because most veggies contain virtually no calories, while fruits carry more calories and sugar as well.
u can never have 2 much fruit and veg and its great that u have them as snacks. There was a tv program were 10 people had sum medical tests done and then 4 the whole of the week they eat just fruit and veg and then they did sum tests after and all of the results were much better, and thats after just a week!!!!!
