That terminology really seems more confusing and misleading than helpful then. Also this usage of "portion" kind of conflicts with the usage in advice about "smaller portion size".

- DanBC 10y agoHere's what the UK means when it talks about portion size. http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Pages/Portionsizes.aspx http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/5ADAY/Pages/Portionsizes.aspx > Small-sized fresh fruit > One portion is two or more small fruit, for example two plums, two satsumas, two kiwi fruit, three apricots, six lychees, seven strawberries or 14 cherries. > Medium-sized fresh fruit > One portion is one piece of fruit, such as one apple, banana, pear, orange or nectarine. > Large fresh fruit > One portion is half a grapefruit, one slice of papaya, one slice of melon (5cm slice), one large slice of pineapple or two slices of mango (5cm slices). Note that this is for fresh fruit, and definitely not juices or smoothies. > Unsweetened 100% fruit juice, vegetable juice and smoothies can only ever count as a maximum of one portion of your 5 A DAY. > For example, if you have two glasses of fruit juice and a smoothie in one day, that still only counts as one portion. A rough rule of thumb: one portion is what fits in a cupped hand.
