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.

The USDA offers helpful guidelines to determine what counts as a cup of fruits or vegetables.
Between the ages of 9 and 13, girls need 2 cups of vegetables a day and boys need 2.5 cups.

For other vegetables, 1 cup by volume is a single cup serving.
