The government has recently abandoned the 'servings' notion for fruits & vegetables which was always confusing for most people anyway. They've replaced it with serving sizes of cups & half cups, which makes much more sense. It's a lot easier to measure how many cups of grapes or carrots or whatever you're eating than it is to eyeball just how many servings your cantaloupe comes to. They have also provided a calculator to determine how much fruits & vegetables you should be consuming. Here is a link to the calculator, and here is a link to give you a general idea of how much a cup of a fruit or vegetable may be with a couple dozen examples.
