How much fruit and veg should I be eating?Lots! Fruit and veg should make up about a third of the food you eat each day. And it’s also important to eat a variety. Five-a-day is a good, achievable target. If you count your portions each day it might help you to increase the amount you eat.
But what is a portion? ONE portion = 80g = any of these
|
1 apple, banana, pear, orange or other similar sized fruit |
2 plums or similar sized fruit |
½ a grapefruit or avocado |
1 slice of large fruit, such as melon or pineapple |
3 heaped tablespoons of vegetables (raw, cooked, frozen or tinned) |
3 heaped tablespoons of beans and pulses (however much you eat, beans and pulses count as a maximum of one portion a day) |
3 heaped tablespoons of fruit salad (fresh or tinned in fruit juice) or stewed fruit |
1 heaped tablespoon of dried fruit (such as raisins and apricots) |
1 handful of grapes, cherries or berries |
a dessert bowl of salad |
a glass (150ml) of fruit juice (however much you drink, fruit juice counts as a maximum of one portion a day)
RecommendationsEat a wide variety of fruit and vegetables and aim for at least five portions a day. Try to avoid:
- adding fat or rich sauces to vegetables (such as carrots glazed with butter)
- adding sugar or syrupy dressings to fruit (such as stewed apple)
