5-a-day, portions question

[EggMFC]

I know that for instance, eating 12-15 grapes counts as one portion, but if I were to eat 26-30 grapes, would that count as two portions? And so on, could I eat 120-150 grapes and that be counted as 10 portions of fruit. (I know eating 120-150 grapes in one sitting isn't good for you by the way, it's hypothetical!)

No it has to be different veg/fruit. One of my fave answerbankers claimed he must only eat 5 portions a week, if that, then he found out potatoes dont count and that knocked it down to a portion a fortnight.

Do Skittles count or Fruit Pastilles?

[Goodsoulette]

as long as you eat 20 of five different colours.

WTF? He only eats fruit or veg twice a month? I feel rubbish if I have any less than 3 a day for any number of consecutive days, goes straight to my chest.

i love veg... hated it when i was young
funny my oldest hates it aw well and dont force her to eat as i know what shes going through. just make sure she eats lots of fruit. in saying that my youngest loves veg so you never get them the same do you? still cant eat turnip though yeuk !!!
it was the only veg my mum used to serve up along with peas and i still dont eat them especially turnip, but give me a bowl of anything other veg and i"l demolish them.
