What counts as a serving of fruits and vegetable and how many servings do I need each day?

According to the Produce for Better Health Foundation, "For most fruits and vegetables, a serving is ½ cup. A serving of dried fruit is ¼ cup and a serving of lettuce is 1 cup." Serving recommendations depend on gender, age, and activity level and range from 4 to 13 servings a day, or 2 ½ to 6 ½ cups. To find out personal serving recommendations visit www.mypyramid.gov.
