Daily Meal Guidelines

Here's what the Health Center wants me to eat each day. They said I should be following either a 1800 or 2000 cal diet, so I'll post both:

Calories	1800	2000
Grains and starchy vegetables	7 servings	7 servings
Fruit	4 servings	4 servings
Vegetables	4 servings	5 servings
Dairy	3 servings	3 servings
Lean meat and meat alternatives	6 oz	8 oz
Fats	3 servings	3 servings

Of course, this begs the question, "What's a serving?" Well, that's something I'm still trying to figure out. Depends on the food. What I'm bummed about is the paltry amount of meat allowed. Only 8 oz!? Well, there goes a good steak! Plus, get this, green beans are a "meat alternative" (yep, they're a legume). Hmmmm.... am I going to eat a hunk of beef or some green beans? Lemme think about that....
