I have a fridge magnet version that has these little check boxes so when i eat a serving of fruit i check it off. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-… Fruits and Veggies are concidered one thing. There are serving sizes on the guide if you want to print it out. The strawberries on your breakfast are definitly concidered a serving. So is the glass or orange juice you have with it.

I know when I was pregnant I craved V8 juice, and I drank lots of it. My OBGYN said I was getting all the nutrition I needed for me and the baby when I did that. Plus now they have those V8 juices called Frusion, a combination of fruits and veggies. You can also check out this site: http://mypyramid.gov/ It is the new food pyramid. I got the site from a nutritionist. Good luck to you and your baby. I was always confused with all the recommended amounts as well.
