5 vegerables and 2 fruit a day

In my home country they say have 5 portions a day and it can be a mixture of fruit and vegetables. Fruit juice, fresh, frozen and tinned all count. I have had plenty of grapefruit juice today. At lunch time I had a salad with cucumber, carrot and cauliflower. Then I had some strawberries. I will have my dinner soon and I plan to eat some raspberries. What I eat varies through the week.

It's really hard to eat that much. That's 2 and a half cups of vegetables and about 2 cups of fruit. Doesn't leave much room for ice cream and potato chips, does it? I do try, but don't eat nearly as many vegetables as I should.

Unfortunately, not any more. I know how healthy they are and need to make those necessary changes! My appetite sucks lately! Ugh. Karen
