Over here it's 1 small, or half a large apple. Though, I honestly find that rather a lot of apple to eat...
It's whne you get to veg that the portions get difficult. 3 tablespoons of peas? or beans? That's a huge amount. To try and get more than one portion of veg into a meal is hard. I don't eat large quantities on the whole (unless it's 'empty' cals, like sweets and biscuits!) . If I get a full portion of peas, a full portion of broccolli and a full portion of courgette (zuccini) into a meal, there's precious little room for anything else. I invariably end up leaving most of the (tiny amount of) pasta or rice and picking out the remaining veg before I get half way through.
I guess the way to do it is to eat more than one meal...but I rarely manage that. I graze a little (bit of fruit, a couple of biscuits, a drink of chocolate milk) and then one meal at night...sometimes not even that. Often enough my night time 'meal' is a slice of ham straight from the pack and a couple of spoons of sweetcorn and cottage cheese, from their respective tin/tub. I'm getting better at it though. I;d say the last three weeks, I've eaten at least one proper meal most days and on some of them two!
