What Does Your RDI Look Like: Vitamin C
I don't worry too much about vitamin C, since citrus fruits are high in the vitamin and eat some just about every day, especially during the Summer.

Back on Track: Cut Veggies For the Week
One way to ensure you get your five to seven servings of fruits and vegetables every day is to pack precut veggies as a healthy snack or accompaniment to your lunches at work.
