Recommended fruit and vegetable intake depends on sex, age, and level of physical activity, so there is no magic number that every person should follow. However, most adults should consume an average of 1.5-2 cups of fruit per day and 2-3 cups of vegetables per day. The USDA offers helpful guidelines to determine what counts as a cup of fruits or vegetables.
According to a new report from the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only about 13 percent of Americans eat enough fruit, and 9 percent eat enough vegetables. Researchers analyzed data from a 2013 study of nearly 400,000 adults across the country, and compared their answers to the US Department of Agricultureâs daily intake recommendations. The guidelines suggest that adults who work out less than 30 minutes per day eat about 1.5 to 2 cups of fruit per day and 2 to 3 cups of vegetables. (A cup of fruit is equivalent to a small apple, a cup of vegetables is about a dozen baby carrots.)
