NYEDave Dec 2016 5:40pm, 27 Dec 2016 1,184 posts	0 NYEDave A few years ago I did the year of beers - how many different beers could I have in one year. This was a lot of fun but not the best for my health (580 final total, minimum measure half pint) For 2017, I am going to see how many different fruits and vegetables I can eat. Minimum portion equal to a "1 of your 5 a day". I am aiming for 100. If anyone else fancies joining me, feel free to join in on this thread. You have nothing to lose but the integrity of your digestive tract.

NYEDave Dec 2016 7:17pm, 27 Dec 2016 1,189 posts	0 NYEDave Looks like beans and pulses are in the somewhat arbitrary 5 a day but starchy stuff like rice and potatoes don't make it. I hadn't planned on including chick peas, kidney beans etc. (They do count for the 5 a day) but was planning on counting garden peas and broad beans. I guess I will include anything on the 5 a day website now. nhs.uk
