Not easy,is it ?

I never have a problem fitting in five fruit and veg into my day Sam, in
fact I probably have more like 10 LOL

Really? In the recommended portion size, not counting potatoes or other
starchy veg, and only one portion as juice, no matter how much you drink.
I thought I was exceeding five a day until I actually went to their site and
saw how much constitutes a portion.

For instance, I had a banana with breakfast; trout with fresh spinach, and

two, IF that's a cereal bowlful of spinach

fresh lemon squeezed over it; blueberries and fromage frais afterwards;

three, IF 4 heaped tablespoons

homemade butternut squash/tomato and onion soup, big plate of salad with

five, IF a cereal bowlful of lettuce

lettuce, tomato, spring onions and avocado for supper, plus 2 kiwi fruits

(would need to be 8 onions to count)
|
Ali...

seven, IF half an avocado
|
Ali...

eight.
so that's eight portions IF you had a bowl of spinach (yuk), and a bowl of
lettuce, and 4 heaped tablespoons of blueberries, which strikes me as being a
lot.

spinach is very good for you. Lots of antioxidants :)

It also attracts girls called Olive ;)
Aries...

don't think I want to know that LOL

No doubt, but if Id had 80grams of spinach, and the trout with lemon, and
80grams of blueberries, and fromage frais, I don't think I'd be wanting any
soup or a pile of salad, and certainly not 2 kiwi fruits for dessert.
Aries...
|
I love veggies, soups and salads, and some fruits, but apples and pears
bore me LOL
|
|
|
For comparison, I had a banana with breakfast, an apple with lunch, don't
think the sandwich filling would rate as another portion, and lettuce,
tomato, red pepper and spring onion for tea (but the onion and pepper don't
amount to a portion between them). I don't usually eat supper. So, thats
about four and a half portions.
|
for dessert.

That is impressive, A, really impressive.
But please tell us that the trout was wild not farmed, please please.
Aries...
|
LOL it was a Tesco one LOL

Breakfast - large papaya.
lunch - cold salmon,new pots(spuds don't count)
chopped leeks with parsley,and glass of
V8 vegetable jiuce
tea - avocado pear.
That makes me one short.

Hi Sam, 3 dried Apricots is one portion !
That would be manageable, wouldn't it ?

I bet more than 5 grapes go into each bottle of wine ;)
Ali...

but you're only allowed to count one fruit drink, and Sam had juice for
lunch.
