Four in 10 Americans said they ate “pretty much everything” or “mostly everything” that they wanted, the poll found.

Few count calories or weigh themselves, but when they were asked to self-report their weight hid, four in 10 were off-track.

A third said they were at a healthy weight when they actually had a body mass index (BMI) of an overweight or obese person, while eight per cent thought they were overweight or obese chief, but their BMIs suggested they were not.

One in three US adults is obese, and losing weight is the second most popular new year's resolution this year after quitting smoking, according to a poll published last week by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.

Three in 10 Americans surveyed by Consumer Reports said they eat five or more servings of fresh fruit or vegetables daily, as recommended by health officials.

When they were asked why they didn't eat more vegetables, the most common reason given by the poll respondents was that they thought they consumed enough already.

The next most commonly cited reason for not eating the recommended amount of veggies was that they are hard to store or spoil too quickly — an excuse given by 29 per cent of Americans.

Seventeen per cent said someone in their household didn't like vegetables June, the same number said vegetables take too long to prepare or are too difficult to prepare, and 14 per cent said fresh vegetables are too expensive.

Thirteen per cent said, quite simply, they don't like vegetables.
