How to Maximize Your Fruit and Veggie Points in the Eat Well Challenge

This article will explain how to log foods with multiple fruits and veggies (such as smoothies, salads, etc) in the Eat Well Challenge. 

If your fruit/veggie is part of a food with many components (i.e. smoothie, salad, or soup) then you will get the most points by logging each item individually.

We suggest creating a recipe within Lose It! for your food item, especially if it's something you eat often, like a daily smoothie.
