Fruit should be consumed as part of a well-balanced diet.
Current guidelines recommend 2 serves of fruit per day for males and females. Unfortunately, most Australians only consume half the recommended amount of fruit per day.
Yes, fruit has sugar... however it is also high in vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, dietary fibre, low in energy, and super satiating!
We generally recommend that you choose in-season fruit for better value and quality (keep a look out for what’s abundant on the supermarket shelves and a good price!)
Also, consider that knowing how much you should be consuming is one step in the right direction. Therefore, assess your current intake against the values displayed in the infographic. How can you consistently hit 2 serves per day?
