Fruits and veggies are equally important. They're a great source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein (well not, much but every little bit helps). They're low in calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and they're perfect to snack on or include with your meals. You're supposed to eat five fruits and veggies a day, so I was wondering . . .

Fruit is easier, because the veggies I like to eat (broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, spinach) require cooking. Once or twice a week I'm just not up to cooking, so I'll get a pad thai or sushi, neither of which has a significant amount of veggies.
Fruit on the other hand just needs to be washed, and I have 3-4 servings of it every day.
1For me it's fruit. I'm not used to having it between meals, only after lunch and by then I'm not full but I don't want much more.
2Veggies are harder for me. I find it is so easy to have fruit as a snack. I can just grab a handful of cherries or a banana. Veggies seem to take more work. Either I want to cook them or I need to cut it up. I am way too lazy to ever make a salad for myself so that adds to the problem. I also just don't think of veggies as an option for some reason. Like right now I have celery in my fridge that I'd like to eat, but I keep forgetting about it. Instead, I keep reaching for apples and bananas constantly.
3I have a really hard time eating fruit. I hate the taste of anything syrupy, sticky, and too sweet. I don't even like most desserts because of that. I like really tart fruits like raspberries and blackberries, but the thought of eating something like a mango makes me shudder. I could (and do) eat veggies all day, but fruits are just... not good.
4Of course fruit is easiert because veggies have less raw (and therefore fast) options. But I have no problem eating both (in fact, I think they make up the greatest part of my diet), especially when I have more time.
5I have a really hard time eating most raw veggies, whereas I absolutely love fruit.
6Neither, of course.
7i've been eating fruit as a snack more often but I cook with veggies in most meals, so I guess I don't have a problem with either.
8I love fruit but we just don't buy a lot of it right now so that's the harder of the two. Veggies I'll eat for lunch and dinner no problem.
9since i don't eat meat, basically ALL i eat are fruits and veggies so i'm pretty much set with them. i guess i've alawys been more of a healthy eater so i don't know if i've ever needed to work on adding one or the other into my diet.
10eating fruits is sooo much easier i eat apples all of the time now that is fall kiwis and oranges will be a big part of my diet too. like for breakfast and dinner and snacks my most favorite food is every kind of fruits that i can find. but the only veggies that i eat sometimes are cucumber and carrots, onion and tomato salad that's about it.
11I try to have a big salad with lots of different veggies at lunch and another 2 servings with dinner. I generally squeeze fruit in as snacks/dessert to round everything out. I love both so it's really easy for me!
12I'm pretty good with both. I might even have a fruit as a part of an actual meal so I don't depend on having it as a snack only.
13Veggies, all the way! I love fruits!
14Fruit is Harder to include. I eat veggie with lunch and dinner. I try to get fruit for breakfast , but that is they only time i do.
15I've been having a very hard time with vegetables! I like them, thats not the problem. However they go bad so quickly and I have a hard time deciding how to make them. I'm excited about the fall and winter because its much easier for me to make vegetables in pasta sauce, stews, soups, etc. The summer is hard because I have a really weird fixation that I don't like salads I make.
Fruit is easy - you just eat it as is and its delicious, or you can blend it and its delicious.
16I love veggies. Fruit is hard for me b/c I dont like sugar or sweet things...
17Veggies...they require more preparation. Fruit you can just pop in your mouth.
18Fruits are easier for me because I tend to snack on them a lot or have them as dessert. Veggies usually require more effort to prepare in a way I enjoy.
19Veggies are way easier for me to eat because they just get incorporated into all my meals. Fruit is harder because I need a little protein with it for a snack, otherwise it doesn't fill me up. I try to have some yogurt with berries or peanut butter with an apple.
20I don't have a problem with either.
21I love salads, but I don't like to have to prepare them. With me, it's hard to eat straight-up fruit because sometimes it tastes almost too powerful or instense or something! I love to dip apples in peanut butter because that gives protein, which I need as a vegetarian.
22I don't have a problem with either one...I LOVE all fruits and veggies.
23I love fruits, but its a chore to go buy them so I don't get as much as I should. I eat out and I can easily pick cooked foods with lots of vegetable in them. Strangely those stalls rarely sell fruit too.
24I don't have a problem eating either.
25fruits are not a problem for me but veggies def are hard to incorporate
26fruit is harder for me to get into my diet because i never liked fruit as a kid but i loved my veggies. now i'm working on trying new fruits but i mostly stick with apples and i'm very picky about them
27I agree with what someone said earlier about it being easier to eat veggies in the winter! I make all kinds of soup...chicken and vegetable, chicken tortilla soup, potato soup, vegetable beef soup...they're all full of vegetables. And the good thing is, you can make a lot and freeze them, so you always have a meal ready!
28I have a hard time getting enough veggies in my diet, I have to make a big effort. But I have been trying to improve on that.
