I used to eat 4+ fruits and 2-3 servings of vegetables, but now I find myself struggling to get in 4 total! Right now it's more because of my current living situation, and not so much that I just don't want to eat them though. Anyways, this just got me wondering how many servings everyone eats? What are the main fruits and vegetables?

    That is excellent, you should be getting more veggies than fruit, as they have more nutrients and less sugar.

    OP: 4+ fruit in one day may be excessive (a lot of sugar) I know people that eat healthy but just eat too much that keep weight on, one of the things they eat too much of is fruit. If you eat 7 servings/day 2-3 should be fruit and 4-5 veggies.

    I usually get 2 fruit and 2 -3 veggies. Not nearly enough, I know... but I am working my way up :)
