Your question was: Changing the Serving Size for Nutrisystem?.
It sounds like you have a compulsion to work through. You need to figure out why you have such a strong need to eat more than you're supposed to. There is no logical reason you need to have 2 snacks in one day (men excluded). There is also no reason you need to have more fruit. Measure out a serving a stick to it. Learn the new ways.
Based on your previous postings and what you say in this post, I would not encourage you to find a way to add more fruits. I'd say you need to find a way to get yourself mentally able to commit to this...
Do you eat baby (or other raw) carrots? I'm a big fruit lover, and I love the sweetness of the baby carrots.
Watch out for the slipper slope. A little more here and a little more there, and then you're back to where you started...
I usually trade the lunch veggies/salad for one fruit serving...was told this is OK...
Oh, yeah I love baby carrots.....the convenience of them is nice too. Thanks for the advice....I'll be more than happy to trade out a salad for fruit. My 1st month is almost over and even though I had a couple of days where I had a tad bit more fruit than veggies, and a couple of Saturdays where I had Soy Chips & cake....I still feel as though I've lost weight. My clothes are a little looser, and today at the Mother's Day dinner, family noticed. I've never stuck with a regime for a month, so in a sense I'm kinda proud of myself. I fought off "real" cake urges today and continued to eat my Nutrisystem food while everyone enjoyed comfort foods.
It'll be the 1st time since starting...
Doubling up on vegetables - ok.
Doubling up on fruits - not ok.
You could use 20 calories of fruit as an extra ("free") food.
Women can have 2 Nutrisystem snacks/desserts a day (by replacing afternoon fruit & dairy/protein snack with Nutrisystem.
An apropriate serving for bananas is .5 or 1/2 med banana 52 calories..
While I know fruits are healthy all foods work together on the plan so substituting foods is not a good idea.
I would suggest asking the counsolers what options are avaliable if you are going to make a habit of tweaking your servings. An ocasional over indulgence could become a habit be it fruit or anything else...
