Having a discussion the other night about how we can "cheat" with getting out fruit and veges intake up.

So what else is there that we can cheat with??

Coffee = beans
Wine = Grapes
Chocolate = Beans

Hello...MacDonalds, Burger King, KFC etc

All have lettuce, tomato, pickle/gerkins, onions, potato.

Standard Takeaways - Coleslaw in burgers, beetroot if you're lucky, pineapple etc

But seriously...I count Pams Oven fries as a staple

Pizza! If you get a vegorama that's covered in veg. You can ask them to add meat too if you like but I love vegetarian pizza

ETA: It's not cheating but try stir frying some veg with plain old soy sauce. All you need is a bag of frozen stir fry mix, soy sauce and 5 spare minutes. Soooo yummy.

Break the biscuits before you eat them - all the calories fall out.

Eat a cake someone else baked - their cake, their calories.

My only cheat is to put fruit in muffins or cake (but I dont count it towards our fruit and veg count.)

banana cake, carrot cake, beetroot cake (as DP says )...

any cake with fruit/veges, each big chunk easily counts as a serve or 2 of the 5
