Do you get your 5 fruit and veg a day ??

Doctors and health experts say we should be eating 5 servings of fruit and veg a day, but I rarely get that much. To be honest, I sometimes struggle to even get 5 fruit and veg a week.

How much do you get a day ?? Do you manage your 5 fruit and veg a day ?? When and how ??

I'd get 1-2 serves a fruit a day and maybe 2-3 serves of veg a day. I don't know how you'd struggle to get in the daily amount in a week! what are you eating? I don't know how big a serve is exactly, I don't know if I'd ever get close to five.

I get 1 serve of fruit in my morning muesli (the dried fruit plus I sometimes add fresh)
I usually have another piece of fruit or some fruit salad as a snack during the day.
I usually have some veg for lunch either in the form of a tuna salad or veg in my pasta sauce or salad on my sandwich.
We always have some veg with dinner, whether it be frozen veg, baked veg or salad.

My house if full of fruit and veg at the moment as in summer in particular we head over to the fruit markets (live like 5 mins from flemington) and buy up big, cheap, fresh and lasts forever.

I find the more veg and stuff you eat the more you crave it.
I love, love some baked veg with lemon and oregano

I'm addicted to eating fruit... >_> I should kinda not eat as much as I do, it's just so sweet and tender and juicy. In regard to eating vegetables, I love my salads (A LOT) and I'll eat a bunch of them but not the traditional carrots, peas and potato at dinner time - that's a little bland.

I've got a friend who doesn't eat any fruit and veg at all. He can't even stand fruit flavoured drinks, cruisers, iceblocks, etc

Yeah, I struggle to get 5 serves of veg per day. It's normally 1 fruit, 3 veg per day for me.

5 serves would be like torture for me. I hate fruit and veg but I still force myself to eat themn for my own health. Sometimes I have to marinate the shit out of the veg to get rid of the taste.

Lol, the health part makes me wish my parents never introduced me to meat. Although, curried vegies are actually quite nice! Especially eggplant! I don't know how you can eat them simply baked or boiled...

Most days I do get 2 fruit and 5 veg.

But I eat a shit load of salad, and I live with my bf so I get to decide what's for dinner (and it'll always involve a few serves of veges).
