It depends on the day...
Sometimes none, sometimes a lot...
I don't have a preset menu....

for the record: fruity pebbles, fruit roll-up, or any other fruit-flavored sugar doesn't count.

Between 4 and 8 depending on what you consider a "serving."

It's hard to say since it is difficult to determine serving size. I usually eat 2 whole pieces of fruit during the day and often snack on some fruit at night. Dinner also often involves vegetables of some sort, but when they're in a stri fry or larger dish it is hard to tell how many I'm eating.
Anyway, I guess the answer is usually 3-6.

I almost never eat fruit because I dislike it, but I eat between 4 - 8 servings of veggies daily.

Plenty. I don't really think about it because I do it out of habit.

I try to eat 3-4 fruits a day. (i.e. bananna, apple, blueberries, mango, and kiwi) Vegtables, I have a salad for lunch and supper and have an extra vegtable for supper with the salad like string beans or something like that.

You know what I mean. Most of our diet is gleaned from such sources.

2-3 fruit servings a day but usually only 1 veggie serving. I know, I'm bad.

I have a fruit compote with my breakfast (blueberries, strawberries and apple). With lunch I always have steamed veg and/or salad. And I always eat vegetables and/or salad with my dinner followed by fresh fruit. So I would say I have more than the recommended 5 a day. For me fresh vegetables are the most attractive food; I always gravitate to the salad dept in any supermarket.

I try for 5... usually 1-2 servings of fruit (depending--some days more, but that might just be me eating 4 clementines) and then at least 2-3 portions of veg at dinner. so for example tonight I had chicken cooked with tomatoes, peppers and onions.
it varies a little on a day to day basis but averages out at 5 a day (if you go by weeks, which is how you should do it)

Not nearly as much as I should.
