Fruit and Veg Portion Size

[IcelandicWarriors]

If one of your portions a day is 80g how do you count say 700g of a tomato and red onion bake served as a side between two? Do you only count say a tomato as one regardless of how many you eat?

And if my pear is 120g is that still one or one and a half?

Just measured things out today and by weight I'm eating loads but by type probably 5 - 7.

I would count the full amount you are eating so a 120g pear would be 1 and a half portions. Only juices and dried fruit count as 1 portion even if you eat more

Although I suppose it says 1 pear=1 portion so i don't know

I’d count it as one portion each of pear, tomato and onion.

Sorry also beans and pulses only count once

What else is in the bake apart from tomato and red onion? Whilst yes, 80g counts as 1 portion, it's also important to eat a range of different ones (different colours) to make sure you are getting lots of different vitamins - hence "eat the rainbow" - so maybe have some green ones alongside that bake!
