During college, I have definitely neglected the "plants" part of my diet. Part of the reason for this is that when you eat at restaurants, you may not have the option (i.e. Chick-fil-a sandwich and fries). If you do have the option, however, it is probably that the non-plant portion of your meal is much larger than the "plant" part. In order to try to increase my intake of plants this week, I will be a vegetarian for one meal a day. Hopefully by doing so, I will be able to learn how to incorporate a wider variety of fruits and vegetables into my diet!
I have successfully eaten "plants" for one full meal each day this week. I have noticed that I have actually started wanting to eat vegetables with each meal instead of trying to figure out how I can incorporate them in each meal. I have also noticed that while I still do eat meat, it has become a much less integral part of my meals. Overall, I think that this is an important shift in my eating habits that I will sustain into the future.
