It actually lists examples of how many of the smaller fruits and veggies make up one serving. It doesn't list everything, but enough for getting a better idea (at least for me) for those smaller things, like strawberries and baby carrots. Keep in mind that when looking at something like an orange or an apple, a medium sized fruit is one serving (about a tennis ball size). Combined with the livestrong info, I feel much better armed this week for my servings of fruits and veggies!
