How many pieces of fruit do you eat in a day?

I sometimes eat two, sometimes one and sometimes none!

I often have a smoothie and I use 3 or 4 fruits including frozen berries.

Sometimes I have an apple, and a banana, but often I succumb to ice cream after dinner instead of fruit.

I like your photo, Finy!

I would exceed the recommended amount every single day,as I just aboiut LIVE on fruit,whatever the season. The strawberried this spring here in nNth Qld were SO good,and SO cheap that I ate at least a punnet a day!!! They were only $1 to $1.25 per punnet!!!! Then of course there are Kiwi Fruits, mandarins,,oranges,Passion fruits(all year from the vine!!!)apples and bananas;and this is just for starters!!! I also eat grapes whenever possible,despite them being from Americ a at the moment. I can hardle wait for summer with all the luscious stone fruits and rare tropical ones.Lychees are a real favourite and I jhave a mango tree which never lets me down!!! So every day I would eat up to 8 different types of fruit.
Yummmmm!!!!!!

That's hard to say, as I don't tend to eat whole pieces of fresh fruit. I sometimes have a bowl of fruit salad or tinned fruit, but usually my fruit in take is take up by a lot of dried fruit. That usually makes up my five a day.

A lot less than I should. Maybe 2 pieces.

I believe the daily recommendation is up to two pieces of fruit. Thats- up to. So you are within that range.

I think I have too much fruit during the day and not enough veg - I have at least 4 servings of fruit everyday

Zero to half. I'm terrible when it comes to fruit. Actually, it depends on what I've got, and at the moment I have very little.

maybe my questions did you some good then!

ate it before the question.....lol.....lol.

Some days I get to nightfall and realise I haven't had any fruit. Most days I have two. It varies depending on what is in season. Stone fruit season means I eat a lot of fruit!

I eat lots of fruit everyday and make my own smoothie as well, today i had 4 mandarins.

I try to eat at least one piece a day. Sometimes I take a fruit salad to work for lunch. This usually consists of cut up pieces of apple, strawberries and sometimes mango. I top it with some low fat yoghurt to make it more interesting and filling.

One. That's enough. Can lead to 'unfortunate circumstance' if I've more!

I make up a bowl of mixed fruit (rasp, straw, grapes, melon, blueberries, bananas) and just work my way through it in the course of a few days so hard to say exactly how much daily but a fair bit I think.

I love fruit. If it is in the house I like to snack on it. I would have two or more servings of fruit each day. I have had ladyfinger bananas lately, but are pretty small so I have been eating two. A big punnet of fresh strawberries, crunchy apples and some delicious oranges and mandarines just waiting to be consumed.
I also have to be careful of the consequences of too much fruit so self discipline is practiced.

by annfi

Sometimes I will 1-2 bananas a day, it depends what is in season and what I feel like.

My fruit bowls are always full but I don't eat any due to dry mouth and brittle teeth. I occasionally make a shake for breakfast and over-ripe bananas are made into banana bread.

During summer I often eat up to 8 pieces fruit a day,but during cooler months maybe 3.Very rarely make a smoothie.

1/2 a banana, 1 strawberry, 3 or 4 blueberries, (if I've bought some,) a slice of pawpaw & 1/2 an orange maybe. At the moment I have some tasteless Au green grapes. I hadn't bought any for years, because I thought the'd be tasteless if I bought some, & I was so right! I just buy whatever fruit is not to expensive, but we always have 1/2 a banana on our cereal every day, if the floods haven't washed out the banana plantations somewhere!
