How much fruit do you eat?

I eat 5 portions of fruit with bran cereal and Greek yogurt most days. I've started buying frozen soft fruit now as I'm fed up with items going off before I can eat them. I still get fresh 'ripe and ready' pears and kiwi fruit. The aforementioned soft fruit is almost as tasty, less sweet, and a bit cheaper. Also, the same number of vegetables. That keeps me regular.

At weekends I let myself go a bit.

Same here, lots in season, in summer to early autumn- but not enough in winter probably.

I eat lots of fruit in Summer when my garden is in full fruit. I have a small garden but I have 2 apple trees, a cherry tree, a pear tree, a plum tree, red and green gooseberries, rhubarb, blackcurrants, strawberries and blueberries. The rasberries are still producing as is one of the apple trees. I've dug up the strawberries as they are getting tired and both blueberry bushes died whilst I was in hospital this year . More veg than fruit in the winter though.

Hello everyone, I’m a newbie, this is my first post. I’ve found it very reassuring that so many of you are just like me. I don’t eat a lot of fruit except berries on Greek yoghurt. I generally prefer tinned fruit, but I eat lots of veg and salad.

I don't eat much fruit at all

Try to eat more veg than fruit as the sugar in fruit concerts to carbs. If I do have fruit I stick to berries which are high in antioxidants. Keep bananas to a minimum but eat them for potassium and magnesium.
Just read a good article which advocates certain veg is better cooked than raw particularly spinach.

I'd be s*itting through the eye of a needle if I ate too much.

I keep meaning to eat more but seems my cookies and other sweets have won out.

I buy the small bananas and have one with my bran flakes porridge or muesli every day with orange juice and homemade yoghurt. Usually have an orange apple or pear after lunch . In the summer I can demolish a punnet of raspberries or strawberries easily in one day . I try and have half a plate of different veg with my evening meal. Seasonal fruit or stewed fruit for pud. Lunch is salad, homemade soup or left overs . I really need a high fibre diet as some of my medications play havoc with regulatory !

Stewed apple on my porridge every morning as we have a ton of them. So many from 2 very old apple trees in the garden that I am going to box up a load of them today and put them at the bottom of the drive and let people help themselves.🤞. I’ll even put a roll of bags in with them so no excuses.

A banana every day, some blueberries, pears and tinned fruit in juice. Lots of veg and vitamin pills.

two pieces a day as a separate fruit meal and mid morning, breakdown of fruit is faster and most fruit is best eaten on its own. Typical is an apple every day and some grapes. I may put a few bits into my overnight oats typical either sour cherries or a few blueberries. Soaked in hm kefir

I get the rest of the days worth via vegetables. Never exotics like peaches or bananas, too high in sugars

Not enough!…🤦‍♀️

Blueberries, black & Green grapes golden kiwis banana with protein yogurt, I’m now wondering if it’s too much as reflux is not good

I struggle with raw fruit and prefer stewed apple and pear which is better for my guts.
I do eat kiwis but only the golden variety, less seeds, they are supposed to be high in vitamin c.

I eat a very mixed salad 5 out of 7 days as my main meal. This does include some walnuts and mixed dried fruit.

I also have summer berries (from frozen), on my morning porridge(winter) and on my bowl of Fruit 'n Fibre in summer

Two bananas each week, sliced and served with natural yoghurt as a dessert. (for potassium).

Love Bramley apples stewed or baked (in microwave). (I use a sugar substiture for sweetener), Very occasional apple (peeled) with cheese for lunch.

First food I have daily is 5 prunes, an orange,
half a banana, a few walnuts and a yoghurt laced with mixed seeds. This is washed down with a drink of chopped fresh lemon or lime with honey and ginger. Fairly sets me up for the day. Love it.

Forgot I have yogurt and stewed mixed berries for dessert.

I remember a nutritionist say eat a rainbow each day. Meaning different coloured fruit or veg or combination. I have my home made red lentil and whatever soup every day .the whatever is what fresh or frozen veg I have got. Lasts 6 lunches. My dinners are a stew either chicken ,Quorn sausages, Quorn mince or Quorn chicken pieces . Either pearl barley or pasta in it plus as many veg I fancy. Enough for 6 dinners . Because of my health can't cook fresh meal everyday as never know how I am going to be. Porridge for breakfast. Been eating like this for 5 years and it's helped me lose 7+st .

I have an Oddbox every 2 weeks and found some veg I hadn't tried and found I liked them.

Doesn't really answer the OP's post but I ramble on.🤦

I try for an apple or pear a day, and at noon I have yogurt with mixed berries. I buy the frozen berries, then defrost and blend them quickly. I was finding that berries I was buying out of season went bad too quickly, and didn't have much flavour.

I will substitute the apple or pear to in-season fruit. I love cherries and plums.

More veg than fruit in winter. Raspberries, my favourite small fruit just don’t taste the same out of season.
Bananas, grapes tomatoes and satsumas are my go to winter fruit. My favourite Christmas fruit is prunes, wrapped in stretched streaky bacon of course!

One portion of (usually frozen) berries most days with Greek yoghurt and a sprinkling of mixed nuts days plus loads of salad and veg.

Snap Growstuff.

2 pieces of fruit a day plus any number of vegs depending on main meal. I also have a sensitive system! Vegs definitely dont have same effect!

Somehow I find the size of some fruit really off-putting. Things like apples, pears, bananas and oranges. Berries however I love and smaller fruit such as plums. Tomatoes I eat every day and I would polish off a mango and avocado every day if they weren't so expensive.
Vegetables I love. Last night I was at a buffet meal and had marrow, carrot, onion, sweet potato, cabbage, pumpkin, potato all roasted with garlic then pork with crackling and lots of salad. Yum!

I used to eat a lot of fruit when I was on slimming world but now mostly just eat it in our overnight oats. I put 3 types of fruit in it but it’s really only about twice a week. I should eat more really.

Fruit and veg together, usually well more than 5 portions a day. So far today, fruit juice and cucumber at breakfast (not together), lunch: chickpea and sweet potato curry, courgette curry, strawberries, supper; pumpkin soup, bread and plums.

*LRavenscroft, I had a bowel condition as a child that caused severe constipation, I rpobably stil have it. But as soon as I was old enough to understand, I worked out that to live without it I had to keep active, well lubricated and have a high fibre diet. So far so good.
