Core Behavior – Eat more fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables in their natural state are low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables makes it easier to consume fewer calories. The consumption of low-calorie foods such as fruits and vegetables is associated with better weight management. It is recommended to eat 2 cups of fruit and 2½ cups of non-starchy vegetables each day, whether fresh, frozen, canned or dried. It is important to choose a variety of colors, with an emphasis on deep green and orange fruits and vegetables, such as spinach, kale, collards, turnip greens, arugula, cantaloupe, and carrots.
