Everybody wants to eat right and that is why they are constantly on the lookout for new ways to help them achieve the magic formula of getting it right. Now, a team of researchers has developed a new Android app to help people reach the recommended target of eating five portions of fruits and vegetables every day. 

It tells users whether they are eating the right portion sizes, as well as the right foods, to meet the recommended guidelines, according to the study by Bournemouth University in the UK.

"Almost everyone knows they should eat five portions a day. But when we looked a little further, it was clear that a lot of people did not know what counts towards the target, they did not know what a portion size is, and many did not realise that they needed to eat five different things," said Katherine Appleton, professor of Psychology at Bournemouth University.
