Subject: Water and Fruit & veg intake
Date Posted: 02 Apr 2014 at 1:53pm
Just curious to know how many people on here drink the recommended amount of water a day, 2 litres, and eat 5 + fruit and veg a day. They're now increased the fruit & veg recommendation to 7+ a day so harder still for some.

How many on here can say they do that every day??

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Always try to get 2 lietrs in but never do, 1-2 most days, some days barely any!! Always have a bottle beside me in work. Try to snack on fruit during the day too. Get nowhere near the right amount of proper food

I drink copious amounts of water when in work - 3-4 litres a day id reckon. Like a racehorse.

At home, zilch!

Fruit and Veg, i'd hit 5 a day average.

Probably 1-2 litres a day, 3-4 pieces of fruit but I don't eat veg outside of spuds.
With the price of decent fruit these days you'd be out some coin for 7 a day . I'm a cussy funt with fruit, only m&s

Spuds don't count towards the 5 a day. Classified as a 'Starchy food' like pasta or rice.

Probably get the 2 liters of water a day, eat 2 pieces of fruit and a salad for lunch every day so near enough the 5-7 portions i'd say!

Weekends are a different story though....

I eat about 3 pieces of fruit and eat veg every day and probably drink 2 litres of water a day too.

The question is why wouldn't you be eating these foods?

Drink around 4 litres of water a day and not sure how much fruit and veg I eat but usually a good bit.

Usually get to eat the fruit and veg don't often get to drink 2ltrs of water though.

I'm sure I heard before that the 2 litres of water a day is based on a paper from the a long time ago. The paper data includes water in your food also as obviously almost all food will have constituent water. For some reason people/magazines/diet gurus have quoted 2 litres of drinking water. I think this might be over egging it a little.
 
I've been on a diet since July now and I'm eating about 5-8 pieces of fruit a day. love fruit though.
 
expensive as f**k though. I'd say myself and the gf go through 100 quid worth of fruit a week.

Would definitely have the water.
 
For fruit, I'd probably have 2 pieces a day at lunch, and then am always snacking on grapes in the evening. Some dried fruit during the day too if that counts, and sometimes a banana on my cornflakes.
 
Usually have one veg with my dinner, green beans, broccoli, carrots.
 
So while I think I'm healthy, probably not even hitting the reccomended amount myself.

In the last few months I've been hitting the water hard, would easily drink 2 litres a day in the office, I spend most of the afternoon legging it to the jacks though.

At home I don't drink as much, working from home today and I've probably only had a pint.

Try to hit the 5 a day but I generally fail.

I'd usually only drink 1l per day and 3/4 pieces of f&v.

The proper recommendation is 3 - 3 &1/2 Ls of water a day. I'd say most days I get close to 3l (not the weekends though)

If you increase the amount you drink, your body will get used to it and you won't piss that much.

A mountain of veg = a mountain of carbs.

Hardly. Eating next to no rice,  potato or pasta etc. Some slow release carbs are important and even at that,  the relative carb count for vegetables is fine. What the hell would you be eating if you can't have starchy food or vegetables?

I dont eat fruit it's full of sugar anyway so go with veg more. Try to drink water so maybe get a litre per day sometimes more. I eat loads of protein probably not enough veg in my diet but i eat healthy enough most of the time

Fruit is also full of vitamins .

The water is easy. Contantly refilling my water bottle in work. Would say I am 3 litres plus a day.
The pissing is a nightmare though especially if you have long calls and no chance to run out for a piss. I do be often dancing at my desk trying to hold the piss .

Fruit and veg I am a bit worse. Probably 3 a day on average

Love fruit love veg and love water.  Drink probably about 1.5l to 2 litres a day of water.  

Stick a slice of lemon in it too just to give it a hint of flavour.  Works a treat.

Drink about min 3 litres of water or more each day.

trying to lose weight so conscious of the sugar in fruit, would have berries usually frozen rasberries or an apple every day but keeping within my lowcarb diet.

veggies - lettuce, tomato, cucumber, zuccini, radishes, advocado, green beans, broccoli, cauliflour, fermented cabbage.

This diet I'm on allows you to have as much fruit as you want (no juice though) so I've been having loads. I've an apple, orange, banana and pear for lunch.

We really have turned into an awful lot of fannys.  

I can't imagine Michael Collins or Padraig Pearse having chats about how much carbs or water they were having in their diet  :)
