5 a day - Who's managed it today?

[Saracen]

if it was 5 a week I would still struggle.

Nah, it's easy. I manage about 20-25 pieces of fresh fruit a day, and it's easy .... so I must be mega-healthy.



I like raisins on my cereal.

I'm feeling healthy because I went for jog this morning....first time in over 10 years

After coughing up a lung I had myself a great roast beef sandwich with some lettuce and a small tomato, so I guess that's one. I may well have some veg for dinner tonight, taking me up to around three, but there's no way I'm getting to five.

Very unhealthy overall though, what with the full Sunday lunch yesterday, and the French dinner we went onto which comprised of nothing more than slabs of meat and melted cheese (oh, and a few potatoes). I worked out how much I'd eaten afterwards (not including the homemade icecream dessert) and I reckon I put away around 8000 calories....Do you think the small salad I had on the side helped to balance it out?

Raclette by any chance? It's evil but gorgeous!

We had Baked Camembert for tea yesterday, so i guess I'm just craving vitamins today.

Raclette!!! That's the one....we had the raclette cheese, as well as some lovely goat cheese and some really smooth stilton....ooooh, so good.

Those baked camembert are evil too....I had it at Cafe Rouge originally. Gorgeous with fresh baguette. They're known by the more catchy name of Baked Myocardial Infarction in medical circles

Yup, but they're oh so good!

Baked Camembert (says it all), Raclette (grilled cheese, potatoes and cured meat) and Fondue (alcoholic melted cheese) are all my faves. Can't wait to move to france! (and go to switzerland in March for fondue)

Cheese FTW everytime.

I managed about 15 a day once, when I was trying to use up all the veg in the fridge.

The word "ass-plosion" springs to mind for my experience the next day.

[jackvdbuk]

if fruit was much cheaper and easier to prepare then yes i would love to have 5 a day!

Easier to prepare? How do you eat your fruit?

Like this?

[Steve B]

i've been for a wee 5 times today, does that count?

[zulander]

I dont think ive ever had 5 aday. I like about 4 types of veg and 2 fruits (and even then i prefer them in juice form if i can).

[streetster]

i think i've squeezed a healthy two... banana on my cereal, and a glass of oj. better than none

[merdat]

Yes I managed it but then I have to as I put on about a 'stone' over xmas. Torrid week last week -real shock to the stomach .

[tigerboyce]

hmm ive had 5 chocolate bars i think

[Behemoth]

I've sorta relaised today how much junk I eat in a week, I really need to stop and eat more healthy stuff. The trouble is the health stuff goes right through me when I eat it so I tend to stay away from it.

[Wyoming]

I've managed 3 today - impressive considering that I'm a teenager/student/general purpose slob.

I love all vegetables, but you wont find me near a citrus fruit!

[kasavien]

I've had at least 5 pints of tea today i **** you not (i have pint sized mugs ), but i have had celery and apples also

[Steve B]

celery and apples also

did you have a waldorf salad?
celery is highly carcinogenic apparently tsk tsk. It also tastes like mouldy bacon and pickle flan.
