How much Fruit is too much?

It seems like I'm always over on the sugar part of my food diary, but the majority of it comes from fruit & vegetables. I'm on 1200 calories, and typically eat 1-2 fruits a day, and 2-3 servings of vegetables, and that alone is putting me over on sugar. Is this going to make me gain more weight?

    That is no way will make you gain weight.

    You gain weight by eating too many total CALORIES. You can eat 1500 calories of nothing but pure cane sugar and still lose weight if your TDEE is anything above 1500 calories. I wouldn't recommend it, though...might get some holey teeth or something.

    I don't track sugar on MFP because it's difficult to stay under no matter what you do. Keep on eating those fruits and veggies. They are good for you and won't make you gain weight unless you are over on your total calories for the day.
