oh nuts! I fell into the trap.. I thought this was a joke thread but now understand its a real dicussion about health and having whole carrots/not whole carrots..whats up doc?

If you just had one piece of cabbage/onion/carrot from a tub of coleslaw, I'm guessing it doesn't count as three of your five daily fruit and veg portions.

WillowTheWhisp · 30-01-2007, 23:08

What if you just lick the mayo off the cabbage?

a bit daft you lot aint ya....i make mi own, half a white cabbage 2 carrots and an onion,all grated into a large bowl, with low fat mayo...it tastes 100% better than the shop bought crap, and its better for ya

five a day means either 1 apple , 1 orange, portion of veg etc...... up to five times,
I have 2 apples , 1 orange, veg with me tea, and a glass of pure juice, thats my five a day!

According to the Healthy Heart bods unless your apples are one red and one green/golden they only count as one!

panther · 31-01-2007, 12:55

mines part green and red!

does that count...?

WillowTheWhisp · 31-01-2007, 13:08

I dunno - they never mentioned that option.

entwisi · 31-01-2007, 13:24

as I said, made up to make it sound plausible

It usually says on the packaging. Unless you've made it yourself as Flashy does. But I would imagine that one portion of coleslaw = one of your five a day (although saying that how big is a portion???)

There' an extra benefit that come from eating things like cole slaw, cottage cheese, saurkraut, yogurt, etc. These types of items are filled with acidophyls (sp?) which are a huge boost to the good bacteria in the intestines. Helps us out in all kinds of ways especially with digestion and cancer prevention!
