Five a day?

Question

Okay, people say, eat your five a day do they mean 5 fruits and 5 veggies or 5 fruits and veggies COMBINED? I mean 5 fruits seems to high, but five total seems to low. Me very confused

Answer 1

It's five portions of fruit and veg (ie you could have carrots, peas, an apple, an orange and a handful of grapes) but if you want more you can certainly have more - it's just a guideline of what you should have minimum!

Answer 2

Five-a-day means 5 portions of vegetables and fruit. E.g. 2 vegs + 3 fruit, etc.
