How many different vegetables would you eat on average per day?

I would probably average about two at the most and that is not usually with dinner but on top of a sandwich where I eat cucumber, tomato, white radish on many days.

Occasionally I will have red capsicum -raw -and a bit of brocooli with dinner -I often cook with vegetables in the meal e.g. last night I made an Asian dish and made rice with a few vegetables in it.

Two or three serves sounds about right. Never as much as I should be getting. :|

2 to 3 maybe 5 at best.
Lettice a lot, tomatoes and mixed veg in pkts.
Some veg are quite hard on my poor old teeth, so I stay with the softer kind.

I'm way better with fruit than I am with veg. On average I probably only have 2 or 3 serves of veg.

At least four at any given meal. Love my veggies.

I absolutely ADORE my vegies and also my fruit!
In fact on many occasions I will simply cook up a pile of vegies and bake with cheese over the top,and totally forgo the meat which most people seem to need!!! I would average 5 or more each day!

Come on girls and boys, ladies and gentlemen try to increase the colours and numbers. Five in a day should be minimum. 9 is the true number we should be eating but the health experts and health authorities knew we would throw a wobbly if we were told that number.
What an excellent question!
I have had cancer and various other things and poor diet can contribute towards these health issues.
I eat minimum 5 in a day and some days 9.
If you have cereal for breakfast how about having carrot sticks mid morning. You could dip in an aubergine dip and then you have eaten 2. Or cucumber sticks dipped in a carrot dip. Lunch and dinner usually isn't difficult to include veggies.
Jules your veggies with cheese over is great.
I sometimes have just a plate of vegetables for $6 AT MY LOCAL CLUB. There are usually 4-5 vegetables, roast pumpkin, roast potatoes and a potato bake. I can afford to eat out at that price!

I also have often just ordered a huge plate of delicious vegies when out!!! And when they are ROASTED, it saves me all that work, while giving me a truly delicious selection of favourites!! Yum!!!!
My son is a chef, and HE also will often just order a plate of vegies!!! Or sometimes we just share one a huge sized platter of them from the carvery!!

Usually 3 or 4 for dinner, & tomato in my cheese sandwich for lunch.
