Munch-5-a-day: A New Way to Eat Your Fruits and Vegetables
January 17, 2011 
I think it was Michael Pollan who said one of the keys to diet is simply: Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. The reality I have found is that, unless you are trying really hard, it is often difficult to come across good options for fruits and vegetables.
I was at my doctor's office getting a yearly check up when he asked me a question that stopped me cold. “How many servings of fruits or vegetables are you getting every day?” Here I was, working at a health company, and I was unable to answer my doctor's question. I stammered through, my mind racing back over my meals the past week.
“Uh.... I ate a few salads this week, a few pieces of fruit, I dunno... maybe one or two? Is that good?”
He looked at me with a blank expression. I guess my answer was suppose to be somewhere closer to five to ten servings... whoops.
Munch-5-a-day for the iPhone is meant to help you solve this problem -- not eating enough fruits and veggies.
When we came across it in the app store for $1.99, we couldn’t help but marvel at the simplicity of something that can help you, once and for all, learn what it takes to get that minimum five servings of fruits and/or vegetables each day. In fact, we liked it so much that we bought the app so we could release it to everyone for free.
There really isn’t much to Munch-5-a-day … that is the point. Any time during the day that you eat a fruit or vegetable, open up the app and log it by clicking the Apple or the Broccoli. The goal is to get five per day.
You can turn up the difficulty if you are shooting for more. When you reach your goal, you can celebrate by sharing the achievement on Facebook or Twitter.
Munch-5-a-day is a simple, convenient and genuine way to learn what it takes to get your recommended five portions (or “munches”) of fruit and vegetables a day.
At MeYou Health, we are all about well-being and one of many important healthy behaviors is getting more plants into your life. We hope Munch helps all of us get there.
On the “exciting for us” side of things, Munch has recently been App of the Week in the UK and across Europe. It was also a Top 10 App in Health and Fitness in 14 countries, including Ireland, Spain, Italy, Sweden, and Greece. We plan to move Munch-5-a-day forward in the U.S. too. If you have any thoughts about the app and want to leave feedback or ideas, we would love to hear from you.
So give it a try! Get munching on some plants already! Download and try the Munch-5-a-day app right now! Go! Faster!
