How many grams to you count as a serve of fruit and veg? Is there a recommended serving amount to eat per day?

80g is a serving of fruit and veg in the uk. Except dried fruit which can count as 1 serving is 30g. 250ml serving of juice is one a day as well.

The UK government recommends 800g a day or the equivalent of.

The recommendations will vary from country to country.

Australia recommends 2 serves of fruit (1 piece - like an apple,orange or banana - or 150g) and 5 serves of vegetables (75g). Beans/legumes can be included, counting for one serve...

I don't care about actual suggested serve sizes, I just eat as much as I like. I like vegetables and fruit, so will easily eat 1-2 kg a day... Nearly all vegetables

There are so many recommendations. I personally aim to eat a good variety and reasonable amounts, which will vary according to circumstances - availablity, price, perishability. It actually varies so much that I can't give you an average or even describe a typical day. But I eat fruit with breakfast and lunch, and vegs with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
