Do you eat your 5 a day?

[Explosivo]

i would rather eat a nectarine or an apple over a chocolate bar any day

and give me a plate of mince 'n' toties with turnip or brussles before you give me frikin chips AGAIN!

but does anyone actually eat five a day every day?

i drink a lot of tomato juice, does that count?

 

[fizsparky]

Not 5 a day, but I do eat fruit and vegetables often enough. Maybe once or twice a day

i find it really hard to eat five a day tbh.

i go into hospital everyy 6 months or so to get my cholesterol levels checked (family problem). when i am there i ask the nutritionist about this and she tells me that 5 a day is just a gimmick, we need to be eating a lot more than 5 a day, in fact she gave an estimate of 10 - 13 peices of fruit/veg a day!

not sure i could handle that myself

I drink plenty of water and try eat healthly (plenty Fruit & Veg). I to would prefer fruit over chocolate anyday although I do have a wee biscuit with a cuppy now and again?

If I can just try and cut down my Alcohol intake i'd be as fit as fcuk.....lol

I'm nowhere near the 5 a day let alone the 10 a day have veg on a night with my tea but only have fruit before I play football usually a banana So my question is can I adequately top up the nutrients I'm clearly missing with the miracle tablet called a multi vitamin ??

Don't eat fish either so would a Cod liver oil tablet do ?

The yanks have been popping multivitamins for years and look at the state of there health

Hmmm think I may have an apple tonight

When I am at work...yes definetly eat more than 5 pieces of fruit, maybe 6 or 7 pieces. Always like veggies with my dinner. If I am not at work, then I would really only eat 1 or 2 bits of fruit. I do still have the very odd bar of choccie and the occassional Kebab (do I get brownie points for having lettuce on it).

i have 2 oranges 2 apples a plum and a pear every day also have vegtables with all my meals even when am at work

well a tin of tomatos counts a 2 portions of ur fruit and veg so i would say that maybe a 200ml glass of tomato juice would count as at least 1 portion
beans also count as well so if you were to have beans on wholemeal toast with a glass of tomato juice followed by an apple or something you got 3 portions in one meal already

i never eat 5 a day i try to eat at least 2 bits of fruit a day but not always i hate vegetables so dont eat them at all.

5/day should be a minimum and it can be done easily. Get yourself a jack la lanne fruit sqeezer and you'll be having 5 pieces of fruit for breakfast easily.

Have a salad with carrots, broccoli, radish, cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce for lunch and you're on 10/day without breaking a sweat.

Have a super fruit like any berry ie strawberries, rasberries and blueberries with a touch of yogurt after dinner for desert to cap off that healthy day.

I find it easier to eat healthy when you are eating less meat. I eat meat on a Sunday and find that this arrangement suits me fine.

Your metabolism will kick into overdrive so may sure there is a clean toilet at work lol

Well I try my best these day , have an apple every day , salad or veg , full fruit yogurt .

Have watched what I eat for many years now , as I almost died through salmonella poisoning 13 yrs ago , went from 8 1/2 stone down to 6 1/2 , and 2 months in hospital and 18 months off work .

I don't get to eat anywhere near my 5 a Day. Although i try and eat healthily. I hardly drink, or eat chips, takeaways etc. Love me veggies, and salads.

When we get fruit in though, i do eat a fair bit.

 

[aftermath]

I eat healthy , cook all my own meals so i know what goes into them, i try to have a salad each day, i eat plenty Veg, and snack at fruit between meals. I hate sweets, chocolate e.t.c.
Only problem is i love my beer too much, so i am overweight, i would hate to think what weight i would be if i ate junk food as well as drink.

 

[Jooooles]
