5-a-day

I am quite annoyed at the fact that getting my 5 portions of fruit and veg a day is so hard most of the time.

Worse yet, the UK government says that's the *minimum* recommended amount.

Other countries (e.g. Australia) recommend 7 a day, specifically 2 portions of fruit and 5 of veg.

This is something I really struggle with. Seldom do I manage to reach the 5 a day target, even less exceede it.

I simply need to try harder, but when I do food kind of takes over my life and I need to plan every single meal in advance to make sure I get enough.

I will continue to keep track of it though, and I'm hoping this blog will help with that (as I'll be accountable for any slip-ups!)
