We have started to watch what we eat trying to follow a healthy balanced diet I enjoy tomatoes and have heard many times that they are classified as a fruit, but also a vegetable. Considering the recommended balance is 5 serves of veg and 2 serves of fruit, where does the tomato fit in that?

EDIT: Note, this question is specific about what category a tomato sits in from a dietary perspective. The answer given in What foods count towards 5 a day? is a very general of a link that does not even contain the word tomato.

Edit in response to the suggestion it is a possible duplicate of another question which it is not.
