    Anyone here get five servings of vegetables a day?

    I know for a fact that I do not, like many other Australians, but I am trying to be more deliberate with it. You can add them to pretty much anything.

      I eat a variety of fruit and veg everyday, but I genuinely don’t know. Honestly I don’t even know what a serve is. Is it a carrot? Half a carrot? Do tomatoes count? What if it’s a pasta sauce? Can I be bothered looking it up and counting? Nope. I think the nutritional guidelines should be made plainer and simpler. Best advice is eat a variety of foods, mostly plants, mostly not ultraprocessed, and in moderation.

      Most days yes, especially if you include fruit in that. Sometimes very few if I’m in, for example a cheese & crackers mood, but I think there are no days with none.

      No I don’t, but I do do 3 serves regularly and at least 2 serves of fruit. Good enough imo.

      When I was on keto, I for sure was getting at least five servings. Salad for lunch, veggie stick snacks, veg with dinner. Nowadays, I have the diet of a 5 year old and I’m annoyed I don’t put in more effort.

      It varies. Some days I eat lots of veggies and other days not. I like to hope it balances out.

      I never know tbh. I think I do??? I certainly don’t eat enough fruit but I like to think I mostly get enough in… I never measure but when I haven’t had enough I usually feel it and crave more. Actually, I could do with a garlicky broccoli now…

      I usually have veggies with dinner - snow peas, beans, 1 or 2 types of capsicum and zucchini. Sometimes carrot if I can be bothered peeling, sometimes mushies
