Fruit and Fruit

She has not asked me anything about my current diet.
This really is the softly softly approach, to encourage a healthy lifestyle long term.
Most people get referred to her because they have heart problems, diabetes, or some other sort of obesity-related issue (as opposed to just obesity, like me, but I requested this). It seems to be assumed that they have never addressed their eating habits previously.

My 5 a day really does vary. Part of the recommendation here is that they must vary - there was an issue with a baked bean manufacturer (or maybe one of the supermarkets - I can't remember) having misleading labelling.

I regularly eat:
Carrot
Baked beans
Orange juice
Cabbage
Apple
Banana
Mixed berries (frozen)
Onion
Peppers
Tomato
Spring onions
Potato
Sweet potato
Lettuce
Courgette
Strawberry
Peas
Sweetcorn

More occasionally (once a week or less)
Melon
Cherries
Spinach
Aubergine

ETA - Mum & I are cooking from the WeightWatchers and Slimming Wold cookbooks and various online healthy eating sites. Seriously, we are vegelicious as well as the additional fruit (which Mum is better at that I am). Every dinner has veg in and beside it. I may not always meet the target in the strictest daily sense, but in a week I am confident I meet it.

I do see what you mean re the different benefits from the fruit though.
