Thanks for that - it makes the 5-serves goal a little more attainable!!

Looking at that I suspect I'm eating more servings than I thought (and I thought I was getting a fair few in)

Are we allowed to count potatoes as part of the 5 a day??

I discount them (and not just when they're crisps or chips!!)

My lunchtime veggie hotpot was more than the picture!

I don't tend to count them, but I'm normally above 5 without them so I don't need to

Personally I don't count potatoes, but some government guidelines do.

I count a potato as a carb.

There doesn't look to be much there - I definitely get my 5 a day looking at that
