I average around 2. 0-1 on the weekends.

Approximately zero.

You're only supposed to need two serves of fruit, at least in Australia ("Go for 2 & 5").

One.

Not a great choice of categories for the poll. What about the option for 1-2 or 3-4?
I voted 0-1 but I wanted to vote 1-2.

It's fruit AND veg. Fruit is too acidic in general, eating five a day could damage your digestion.

I tend to eat enough, mostly likely satisfying my 5 a day on average. I always have a large bag of spinach that I snack on raw during the day (instead of junk), and I eat at least one apple. When I cook I always have a portion of fresh vegetables.

I rarely eat fruits other than strawberries and avacados on their own; however, I often incorporate many into the meals I prepare. I made this boss salad the other day; like a mutant Steak-y Cobb.

Eating mangoes this mango season. :P

0-2 a day. Varies.

Ooh, this actually sounds like a really good idea. I really don't think I eat enough greens, but I will graze on anything around me when using the computer.

Yep. Keep it in the fridge with the bag sealed and it stays nice and crisp for days. Really tasty, too!

I do the same thing as atob but with baby carrots instead of spinach.

Most days I eat one. It varies; an orange, apple, banana, whatever. I don't really care about eating healthy but fruits can be a nice pick-me-up in the mid-afternoon.

Usually 0-1.

*goes and grabs peach*

This makes me feel so unhealthy...

I've averaged about .3 servings of fruit a day and .1 servings of vegetables (assuming you don't count potatoes) for most of my life. I weigh 140 pounds, my cholesterol and blood pressure are both fine, and I get sick the least of everyone I know.

Either I've been blessed with the weirdest functioning body ever, or what I call a meatetarian diet (really bread+meat) works just as well (or better, from what I've heard) as a vegetarian diet.

1, maybe 2

Wow, this is sad. No-one eats the recommended 5+ a day. ;_;

Isn't it wonderful? Deadly-vu.

Canada recommends 10 servings of fruit and vegetables, rather than five of each. I believe you would see more people closer to that goal just because vegetables are easier to snack on usually and great with meals.

Yeah, everyone knows veggies are where it's at.

Two people have voted 4-5, 5 being the recommended amount.

All of them, man.

I eat the recommended... 5 peas a day.
I know im very healthy.

Same here. Except I weigh 5 pounds less.
