How much fruit and veg have you had today?

[RachelLyg]

An 80g serving of fresh fruit or veg and a 30g serving of dried fruit counts as one of your 5 a day.

Spinach (half portion)
Tomato and Bean soup (1 portion)
1 quarter cantaloupe melon (1 portion)
Carrots (half portion)
Hummus (quarter portion)
Celery (quarter portion)
Cauliflower (one portion)
Brussels sprouts (one portion)

That's 5 and a half portions and I don’t think I can fit any more in. I’m trying to get to 7 portions per day.

Much better than me...

7 cherry tomatoes
About 10 rasperberries with my cereal this morning
Then hopefully 2 More veg with my tea later!

It’s hard.

I thought I was doing well because I eat quite a wide variety of fruit and veg each day. But then I read that bit about each serving having to be about 80g if fresh or 30g of dried and realised I wasn’t doing as well as I thought I was .

None. Haven't had any for well over a week.

A nectarine
A portion of strawberries
A portion of cherry tomatoes
Some olives (do they count)
Broccoli with tea.

Ooh I had olives!! Didn’t know they count! Woop woop #winning

None, but I’m planning on having a homemade salad sandwich and some oranges later. My body has kept going for nearly 40 years without fitting those rules, so I think I’m all right.

What kind of olives? I can never decide if I prefer black or green.

Spinach
Mushrooms
Quarter of a pepper (all these in an omelette)
Red Grapes
2 plums

Later I am having quiche for tea so I will have a big salad with watercress, rocket, cucumber, piccolo tomatoes, red onion and avocado.
I also have a nectarine for after.

Not sure how much all that would be though?

1.5 carrots with hummus (1 or 2 portions, the chickpeas in hummus count for a bit)
2 tangerines (1 portion)
Veggie chilli for dinner (2-3 portions)
Maybe an actual banana cut up with my banana bread later (1 portion)

So 4-7 portions I think.

I can't eat much veg as it gives me a tummy ache. Today I've eaten :

A bowl of melon
An apple

And will have some salad with my spag Bol in a bit.

Black.
I made pesto pasta salad with cherry tomatoes, olives and pine nuts for lunch.
It was delicious. The pesto was jarred so the basil won’t count though.

Pomegranate seeds and a banana on my yoghurt for breakfast
Cereal bowl of cherries and a satsuma at lunchtime
We've just had a stir fry for tea that had a courgette, a carrot, a pepper, 6 mushrooms, a few baby sweet corn, and spring onions between me and DH.

I've also had 3 fig roll biscuits. Do they count?

So far just some raspberries and blueberries at breakfast, but for tea I'll be having a salad which will probably be a total of 2 portions, then an orange after. I might have some dried apricots.
I'm assuming the raspberries in the bakewell tart i had don't count

A bowl of salad for lunch - lettuce, red cabbage, tomatoes. cucumber, scallions, pepper, radish and avocado.
An apricot.

This evening's supper will be an Asian salad with a crab and then strawberries for pudding.

None! Currently on an extended stay with family in Spain (if I have to quarantine I might as well just stay!!) it’s mostly been olives, crisps and sangria... although there is technically fruit in that... 😎

Maybe 10 ?
Banana
4 satsumas
2 apples
2 sticks of celery
1 little gem lettuce
Radishes
Cherry toms
Cucumber
Will have another salad with a portion of vegetable and feta frittata this evening.

Salad at lunchtime orange juice at breakfast an apple and a nectarine and dinner will be another salad.

Beans (on toast) for lunch
Melon and pineapple chopped up after lunch
Carrots with dinner

Strawberries in overnight oats.

An apple at lunch.

Lettuce and sweet potato with dinner.

Very poor for me.

Fresh squeezed orange juice
Blueberries
Broccoli
Celery
Banana
That’s it for today. Some days I have a lot more if I have something like fruit salad for breakfast, salad for lunch and a veggie curry for tea.

So far cabbage, mushrooms, courgette for lunch.

Supper courgette, peas, beetroot and tomatoes. Do they count for more if they're from the garden?

I don’t eat fruit. I’ve had a portion of sprouts and a portion of mushrooms today.

Tangerine this morning (only one so half portion?)
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Carrots (half portion)
Green beans (half portion)

Will be having
Tomato, onions, peppers in a sauce (1.5-2 portions) with meatballs
Green beans (1 portion)
Strawberries or blueberries (1 portion)

Some blueberries with yoghurt & granola for breakfast and half a tin if mandarins at lunchtime. I'm planning on pizza & salad for tea so will gave rocket, cucumber, tomatoes and peppers then.

raspberries in my porridge (0.5)
Glass pomegrante juice (1)
Some tomatoes and cucumber with lunch, plus some bits in a quiche (1)
Strawberries (1)
Avocado, tomatoes, spring onion, tomatillos with dinner (1)
Tangerines (0.5)

So 5 but way too fruit heavy!
