Who actually eats their 3 and 5 serves a day??

[Sagres]

Yeah I was thinking 2 and 5?

Generally yes, I do 2 fruit and 5 veg. I won't say everyday but pretty often. I just follow the principles of the CSIRO eating plan and that has all the fruit and veg bases covered so I don't really have to think about it.

Not even close. If I ate that much each day 1) I'd have no money for anything else and 2) I'd be sick from trying to force myself to each so much food.

They need to come up with a serving size that actually correlates to the size of the eater, not just a one-size-fits-all approach.

I do try and i did do it almost everyday when i was pregnant as fruit and vegies was all i could stomach!

And i agree that if i did i wouldnt have any money for anything else.

i agree with it being abit exxy sometimes!!! Im the opposite though, i could easily eat 5+ serves of fruit but struggle with the veggies unless i make an effort! all ive eaten today is sweet corn!

Seriously? I find eating fruit and vegies SOOOO cheap compared to eating other processed stuff. I shop at a farmer's market, and only eat what's in season. For $30 per week, DH and I are both getting at least 2 and 5, and probably more like 3 and 7 a day.

Yes on the veg, no on the fruit, but DS loves his fruit so it's more like 5 & 5!

Not sure how the cost thing works for you KM, as whenever I'm on a strict budget I cut out meat & go vego, way cheaper. Of course, that's assuming that you eat what's in season cause it's way to exxy to eat stuff out of season on a whim.

Im supposed to eat 5 + 7 for breastfeeding

supposed.

5 and 7. Wowsers. I could do the 7, I often do that before it's even 2pm, but the 5 fruit might be a stretch!
