| WOW!!! Does he realize how many servings of fruit he's consuming? 3/4 c. (6 oz.) = one serving Not to mention all that sugar - even natural sugar in fruit juice is still SUGAR! High fructose corn syrup is dangerous stuff - right up there with trans fatty acids. How many calories does that add up to? Nearly half his calorie needs for the day I bet. Has he tried tonic water or sparkling water with just a small amount of juice in it? Even sparkling water with lemon or lime juice. You can also add a small amount of fruit juice with milk (I also use homemade kefir for this drink) and with some grape juice and milk make a Grape Cow, or with orange juice and get an Orange Cow. At least you'll also be getting a dairy serving - but too much of ANYTHING is bad when it comes to food and drink. Check out the My Pyramid site (link below). Have him click on MyPyramid Plan (on the left side) and fill in the blanks so that he actually knows what foods he requires daily and in what amounts. -Grainlady |
