i hate to break this to you guys but i think you are seriously overestimating the number of servings you are eating.
According to the USDA a serving size is:
* One medium-size fruit
* 1/2 cup raw, cooked, frozen or canned fruits (in 100% juice) or vegetables
* 3/4 cup (6 oz.) 100% fruit or vegetable juice
* 1/2 cup cooked, canned or frozen legumes (beans and peas)
* 1 cup raw, leafy vegetables
* 1/4 cup dried fruit
According to the Australia Government
One serve of vegetables is 75 grams (3 ounces) or:
* ½ cup cooked vegetables
* 1 medium potato
* 1 cup salad vegetables
* ½ cup cooked legumes (dried beans, peas or lentils)
One serve of fruit is 150 grams (5 ounces) or:
* 1 medium-sized piece (eg. apple)
* 2 smaller pieces (eg apricots)
* 1 cup canned or chopped fruit
* ½ cup (125mL) 100% fruit juice
* 1½ tablespoon dried fruit (eg. Sultanas or 4 dried apricot halves)

I guess I'm under-counting my juices and even-counting my fruits and over-counting veggies.
