To count this as one of my 5 a day?

[lesley33]

Just been doing some housework and eating cherries covered in chocolate (last of a xmas present). AIBU to count the cherries as one of my 5 a day?

[motherinferior]

Not at all. And Studies Have Shown that people who eat chocolate regularly have a lower risk than average of heart disease and stroke. Trust me, I'm a health journalist.

I count wine as my 5 a day as it us grapes and maybe has a fruity taste

Isn't chocolate a vegetable? That would make it two of your 5.

no chocolate is not a vegetable, however it is full of milky calcium goodness and nuts. It says so in the adverts for Nutella

[MateyMooo]

i admire your thinking

i had a bar of fruit and nut chocloate , i think that counts three times!

[Ecgwynn]

Chocolate comes from the cocoa bean doesn't it? Beans count as one of your 5 a day.

[MardyBra]

What about ketchup? Does that count?

[PatsyPlusOne]

YABU to still have your Christmas chocs in March! mine were all gone by boxing day

[HedgewartHogwartHOGGLE]

I had dh's blueberry and lemon drizzle cake - does that count for 2/5?

Oh, and a dirty great hamburger with lettuce, tomato and onion. is that a full quota then? [Grin]

[Clownsarescary]

I've had a packet of walkers cheese 'n onion squares. Does the onion count as 1? :)

Pizza can often contain all of your 5 a day (although best to take it with lovely grapey wine just to be safe), plus calcium and protien

God bless you Pizza.

[HedgewartHogwartHOGGLE]

Going to open some soon actually. ohhh, get me, that's 6 of my five a day then! Where's that halo emote?

YANBU

Fig rolls are one, so chocolate covered cherries must be at least 2

[thenightsky]

I count fruit skittles. And M&D fruit sherbets.

[thenightsky]

M&D?? I mean M&S obv.

[lesley33]

patsy - I got a LOT of chocolates for xmas

[SarahStratton]

I just counted strawberry trifle as one of my 5. Unless the vanilla in the custard count, in which case it's 2, and my nachos makes 5.

[rushelle]

I'm just drinking Damson wine, must count as at least 2, and chocolate raisins count as one 2.
