Bell pepper

Does one whole bell pepper tick this box for portion and acceptable vegetable?

My guess is no because even though they're probably larger than your fist, they're hollow. 

I bought some Tupperware that is roughly the same size as my fist, and when in doubt I chop something up and stick it in there to see how close I've come.

ditch the seeds and chop it up, see if it meets the requirement. The fist size tupperware is slick. 

@Jeff Serven I mix up my veggies every day. Am I to understand that I pick 1 Veggie to make a fist size portion of in addition to more variety of raw veggies? 

Like me this week I have packaged up bell pepper, baby carrots, and cucumbers which altogether are a fist size portion.

You can mix up your vegetables so long as your vegetables total at least 1 fist size serving.

This is my daily mixed salad I eat at work, I would say this size covers two full fists.

I usually like to mix lettuce, radicchio , fennel, pepper (red yellow green), red onion, carrots ... sometimes tomatoes too. A bit of extravirgin oil and voilà, here's my raw veggies source.

Alessandro! You have come a long way my friend from the lunches you were eating in the cafeteria before Thrive. Nice work!!

@Jeff Serven could you please clarify the 1+ Fist Size please?

You can say that again, @Jeff Serven!! I can say that Thrive has changed dramatically the habits of a guy like me who basically used to add NO veggies in his meals!

look at that pocket lunch now!

Punch yourself in the face then look in the mirror - the size of the bruise is the amount of veggies. 

Just kidding Aaron. My fist roughly fits into a 1 cup measuring cup so for me 1+ is 1-2 cups of veggies. The reason you don't want to eat more than that in the beginning is - most of the time people cant digest that much veg. 

Oh that makes sense. Lol. Imagine if you had really big hands for your height.
