What the hell is a cup of fruit?
I truly hate how Americans measure things: https://fruitsandveggies.org/blog/how-much-do-i-need/
So I just need five bananas to sleep better at night.
One for each hole.
Only one per hole? That's no fun!
Happy Cake Day 🎂
Thank you.
Wait, how are we counting holes here?
Whichever way each is more comfortable with. Everyone has their own individual preferences.
The sentence took me way too long to parse. I read it as “shifting from a lifestyle of eating no fruits to one (fruit) including five cups a day”
“Fruits” and a volume measurement is such a strange way to word it too. Which fruits? How much is a cup? Is it a Canadian, American, or English cup? Is it maybe some other measure?
Usually eight ounces.
Occasionally 9-16 ounces if you have a bigger cup.
and who the fuck has a standard cup?! my mother has about 10 different sizes xD. good we measure with grams and milliliter.
Oddly enough, it's not what you find in a fruit-cup
Same thing as half a pint of fruit
Its actually 5 portions a day. You can count a portion as approx. 80g, or an easy to figure a portion for any human is, it's the size of your fist. If you have a small fist, it's a small portion, and the same for a large fist, large portion.
