What's a piece?

[woodelf]

We are advised to eat at least five pieces of fruit a day, but what constitutes a piece...there's no way I'm going to eat five apples a day or similar? Ta Muchly.

5 different items of fruit or veg, and that generally means a handful sized portion x 5

[Lil O'lady]

In tesco or asda they say a portion is about a handful

1. Suck the lemon from your G & T

2. Eat Fruit and Nut chocolate

3. Have tomato ketchup (tomato is a fruit, blah blah) *

4. Instead of coke with your burger, have a Banana Shake

5. Buy your partner some strawberry body licky stuff

There ... I think that does it.



* I know, I know ... ketchup is gross.

Ha ha Jane.

A glass of fruit juice counts as one of your five a day.

Five apples a day would only count as one a day as the five portions need to be different.

[sara3]

if you have a glass of juice it would have to be the good "not from concentrate" stuff.

[jaydj]

Does a chocolate orange count as one?

[whiskeryron]

I purse my lips & blow a raspberry, Look in the mirror & see a prune, Stand about looking like a lemon,Some days I have a peach of a day, and I'm not even going to mention the banana.

Yeah well, thanks for the serious answers and the downright put-downs...I don't think I'll bother - but whiskeryron suggestion is a belter!
