Total vegetable servings for individual vegetable types were adjusted based on qualitative work suggesting acceptable amounts of daily vegetables for consumption and to avoid logistical concerns with participants measuring out portions smaller than one-half portions. Thus, although total dose represents an approximate doubling of amounts between doses, individual portions for each vegetable were not doubled to reach the next dose level.
