What is the recommended number of servings of fruit per day?

• A. 2 servings
• B. 4 servings
• C. 6 servings
• D. 8 servings

Answer: (B)

Consuming an adequate amount of fruit daily helps ensure enough fiber, vitamins, and minerals while keeping added sugars in check. The recommended target in many WELL-related guidelines is four servings of fruit per day. A serving is typically one medium fruit, one cup of chopped fruit, or about half a cup of dried fruit; fruit juice can count as a serving but should be limited because it provides less fiber and can add extra sugars. This four-serving target supports nutrient intake without overdoing calories. Two servings would be too low for fiber and micronutrients, while six or eight servings could add more sugar and calories than necessary for most people, making it harder to maintain energy balance.
